PAR36 LED Landing Light 2100LM | Replaces GE 4509 4595 | IP67 Sealed
The Handxen PAR36 LED landing light is a high-performance sealed beam replacement that delivers 2,100 lumens of brilliant 6000K daylight white — up to 15× brighter than incandescent — while drawing 80% less power. Built with 18 genuine OSRAM LED chips, a die-cast 6030 aluminum housing, and a crystal-clear borosilicate glass lens, this IP67 waterproof sealed beam is engineered for the demanding environments of aviation, marine, and heavy equipment applications. It is a direct drop-in replacement for standard PAR36 4.5-inch sealed beam sockets — including popular bulb numbers 4509, 4595, 4626, and 4627 — with no wiring modifications required.
Trusted by thousands of pilots and equipment owners since 2009, the Handxen PAR36 is one of the most popular LED landing light upgrades for general aviation aircraft such as the Cessna 172, Cessna 182, Beechcraft Bonanza, and Piper Cherokee. Its built-in EMI/RFI shielding ensures zero interference with VHF radio, GPS, ADS-B transponders, and intercom systems — a critical requirement that many budget LED lights fail to meet. With a 50,000-hour rated lifespan and a 2-year manufacturer warranty, it is designed to be the last landing light you ever need to install.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this work with my 12V aircraft system?
A: Yes. It accepts 9–32V DC, so it's fully compatible with 12V, 14V, 24V, and 28V systems.
Q: Does it cause radio interference?
A: No. The Handxen PAR36 features built-in EMI/RFI shielding. Your VHF radio, GPS, and ADS-B will not be affected.
Q: What's the difference between Spot and Flood?
A: Spot (20° narrow beam) is designed for landing — it projects light farther ahead. Flood (wide beam) is designed for taxi — it illuminates a broader area for ground maneuvering. For the best setup, we recommend the Landing + Taxi Pack with one of each.
Q: Is this the best LED landing light for Cessna 172?
A: The Handxen PAR36 is one of the most popular LED landing light upgrades for Cessna 172, 182, and 210 aircraft. It delivers 2,100 lumens — 15× brighter than the stock halogen — while drawing only 18W with zero EMI/RFI interference. It's a direct drop-in replacement with no wiring modifications needed.
Q: Is LED better than halogen for a landing light?
A: Yes. LED landing lights offer 15× more brightness, 80% less power consumption, a 50,000-hour lifespan (vs. 25–300 hours for halogen), instant full brightness with no warm-up, and far greater vibration resistance. The higher upfront cost is quickly offset by years of reliable, maintenance-free operation.
Q: Can I use this on my tractor or boat?
A: Absolutely. Any equipment with a standard PAR36 4.5" socket is compatible. Popular with John Deere, Kubota, and marine vessels.
Q: Is the glass lens better than plastic?
A: Yes. Our borosilicate glass lens is shatter-resistant, thermal-resistant, and will never yellow over time. Cheap plastic lenses degrade with UV exposure and heat, reducing light output significantly within 1–2 years.
