Hi NSEU,


Tks for posting. I had already assumed the lamp life and thermal shock,as well as the dim/bright with the gear up/down (similar to 767)

My curiosity remains on the fact that during cruise the lights are always in a dim state, and as you cross with a 777, the lights are always on (more noticeable at night). Sometimes other planes flash at you (normal), but when the flash from ldg light goes off, it goes back to dim. Is that associated to the ground air sensor, dim lgts at the overhead panel, do they remain on during daytime also?
I `d appreciate if you could refer any literature, web site etc, with more info on this system.
I`m from a time when you needed to know about your airplane, and nowadays a lot of info is lacking

Tks, happy flts
