WI recently announced that the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) has given PMA approval for their LED Ice Light and Right Angle Reading Light for use in a wide variety of aircraft including King Air models (specified below).
The company says their LED Ice Light provides 100,000 hours of life compared to only 165 hours of life available with bulbs. Also, when measured up to other replacement LED ice lights, the PWI Ice Light provides 210 more lumens providing better contrast, which aids in the visibility of ice formation. It is designed to be much more efficient and effective, as well as a benefit to overall safety by also providing situational awareness when on the ground. PWI’s LED Ice Light is a powerful alternative to factory installed bulbs. Regardless of outside temperatures, the Ice Light is perfect for use in dusk and night flights or when taxiing and during takeoff and landing.
PWI’s LED Ice Light Part No. 7310009-000 is a bayonet mount that is a direct drop-in replacement for bulbs A7079B24, MS25338-7079 and WA7079B24, and is approved for the King Air 90 series, 100 series, 200 series and 300 series aircraft.

PMI’s LED 303R Right Angle Reading Light is a direct replacement for their 303 and the MS15570-303 bulbs. The new right-angle design directs light at a 90-degree angle from the socket base and directs the LED toward the area that needs illumination, instead of brightening the area directly above the socket.
The 303R LED is approved for King Air 200 series aircraft and the company says it’s compatible in many places where directional lighting is useful like cabins, cockpits, behind backlit signage and even cargo compartments. It also offers more than 33,000 hours of life and very low power draw, making the 303R a more energy efficient light compared to incandescent bulbs.
