I got this light at a rummage sale for 50 cents.
it's labeled in a military style and it says; "Light, cockpit utility, aircraft"
It's about 5 inches long, by 2 inches in diameter. about the size and shape of an empty toilet paper tube with a little swivel mount arm sticking off it, and a coiled power cord (like a C.B. mic. cord).
on the end is the on /off switch. which also acts as a dimmer by rotating it, with a momentary bright button in the center that will boost the light when you hold the button down. it also has a switch on the side that toggles it between white and red light by moving an internal lense over the bulb, and by twisting the ring around the output end, you can change from flood to spot.
All in all it seems like the ultimate dash/ map light.
But it seems a bit dim when hooked to 12 volts.
So my question is; are most aircraft, especially military, 24 volts? or 12, or somthing different yet.
If I can get a pic of this little jobbie, I'll post it.
