Hello, my first post here. I think if I can't find a official answer here, will not find anywhere else.
Well, it all started when I posted the attached picture on my facebook wall and someone asked what were those 3 white "bubbles" under the landing light switch. After the question, I realized that all commercial airplanes has this design for the landing lights, regardless of the manufacturer - I saw it on Embraers, Douglas, Airbus, Boeings, Lockheed, etc. I checked the FAR part 25 to look for an answer, but could not find any. Does anyone know the history behind these 3 white dots?
tip: They glow in the dark (phosphorescent material). Thanks for any help.
