I used the Aero Lites PAR 46. It takes two people to install. The extra set of hands makes installing the snap ring somewhat easier.

Same here...and, ditto on the extra set of hands!! Aero-Lites over in Thomaston, GA handles the Fusion 46LR & great people to work with.

I just installed the Aero-Lites bulb. Bought it on Amazon. Great product! I found that a good pair of snap ring pliers and a second human pushing in on the bulb made it pretty simple. The bulb has polarity, FYI. You must install the wires correctly. Not sure if you can damage it or not by installing backwards but many LEDs can’t handle the magic electrons backwards - either way, it won’t work - just a note of warning.

I can say I have had a few orders with Jeremy at Aero-Lites and the customer service is top notch. I highly recommend them. The instructions that came with my landing lights say that they aren't damaged by reversing the polarity, but you are correct they only work if connected correctly.

Hello all,
Did you guys install this PR 46 on a ST 250 grimes light? Or on another model of Grimes retractable light?

Thanks,
Eric
