Accepted Answer

The G3 should be brighter.  We do not have the exact specs for the Alphabeam because it is no longer available.

Question 15

Are you sure about Whelen using candlepower?  If so, the 10k candela you mention in other answers is hardly enough to read a map by, let along be used as a landing or taxi light - thats why Im skeptical about the candela claim.  Thanks.

1 candela is 12.57 lumens, so that would be around 125,700 lumens but candela and lumens measure two different aspects of intensity.  Whelen gave us the candela rating directly.

Question 23

Regarding Whelen Parmetheus G3 PAR 36 Landing & Taxi Light FAA-PMA: Does direct replacement mean that I would not need an A&P to do any STC pare work for the installation? I can do the installation on my own with no paperwork other than a logbook entry?

Accepted Answer

The install instructions note. "Determine that the Landing or Taxi light characteristics have not been substantially affected, per 14 CFR 23.1383/27.1383. If required, update aircraft records utilizing FAA Field Approval (Form 337) or equivalent."
