What are you guys using for lens covers on these? Greg, You are right, but there are two issues. One is that, if the light is mounted on a gear leg, it should not be allowed to remain lighted when the gear is raised. To that end, I use the "gear down and locked indicator relay" to allow the light to be switched on. The other, the cover, will be tested soon. Currently, I use Lexan which soon becomes bubbled and clouded. I have recently removed the siliconed-in glass cover from a 50 watt halogen bulb by breaking away the reflector's retaining edge with pliers. This fits my current bulb holder but I will soon be testing one of Tim Ong's housing - a test of both the cover and Marshal's special bulb.
