Landing in the rather dark home runway was an accpetable risk, as I had multiple standby cockpit light sources, so instrument lighting was not at risk. I regularly practice no landing light landings in here, as my 150 has only one bulb, and it's gonna quit short final sometime!

Were that not to have been the case, I would have gone elsewhere, though around here at night, elsewhere is either a 25 or 40 minute flight, followed by an hour plus drive to that airport. There are not a lot of lit runways in this part of the world.

I Suspect that I have a voltage regulator problem, but it's still in the diagnosis stage, as the electrical system worked fine during a test, and two flights today...

I have the minds working on it!
