All 150s use the PAR 36 lamp shape, but the wattage, amperage, angle of projection, and brightness vary depending on the type of lamp selected.

There are three possible Landing/Taxi Light configurations:

The 150 thru the 150K have two lamp wing mounted combination. The standard for both lamps is a PAR 36, 13 volt, 100 watt, GE 4509
The 1971 “L” thru the 1974 “L” have a single landing light in the nose cowl. The standard bulb is a PAR 36, 13 volt, 250 watt, GE 4313.
Some 1974 “L’s” and all “M’s” have a two lamp nose cowl mounted configuration. The standard for both lamps is the same as the wing mount configuration, two PAR 36, 13 volt, 100 watt, GE 4509s.
