I'm currently looking for a material solution... the 6 resin casts in the picture failed the heat deflection test. Basically the dome light will sag in the dead summer heat. I'm working on a PETG or ABS solution which both of those material can withstand upto a 200F during the summer heat.
Dome lights are coming soon, I promise. |

Im building up stock now...$60 Shipped
Everyone,
After awhile of looking for a suitable material, I found one and tested that it is capable upto 160F, and held its shape. I am sending out two of them today for evaluation. I also found a plastic company I might be working with to help with a higher production, since at the moment its just me. They are an off-white in color, and almost the same opacity to the original. The only question now is how much? To be honest, I would give them away, just because I love our planes so much, unfortunately it does take time and materials to make. I was looking in the range of $60 shipped. Send me a PM titled "DomeLight", if your interested in one, so I can get a list together to know how many to make. I have 8 right now ready to go, first come first serve. To Dan and Mark, please post your honest opinions when you get them. Thank You. Luis Last edited by ljmolina : 11-29-22 at 10:59 AM. |

If anyone needs the other part# 1515021-Version 2 of the dome light from my previous post, I'll need an original to make a CAD model from. If your willing to send me the part for me to copy, I will send it back along with a new part.
