They are a significant improvement. The runway threshold and numbers become visible from twice the distance as before while still providing plenty of nearby lighting of the runway surface in the flair. The taxi and takeoff illumination is improved too. Mine are mounted in each wingtip. Marshall Michaelian had these bulbs specially made up with a guy from GE since it seems the narrowest beam commercially available is 13 degrees. They are 12V, 100 watts and Marshall's got a supply of them. If you are using MR-16 bulbs currently, you should check these out. Ed de Chazal N361DC
