The LED ones are loads better they should be standard fitment IMO.
Actually, Robinson doesn't offer LED landing lights. Even the latest R44's come out with High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. LED is not an option, at least not on the RHC price list.
The conversion from incandescent to HID is possible, but it is not a 1-on-1 replacement, as an electronic ballast has to be installed.
Any experience how long those HID lasts in the field?
