You might think that a landing light is just a light, but like the Castrol man used to say: "Oils ain't oils"
I bought 2 of these, which were used on Lancasters, Mosquitoes, and maybe others.

Latest acquisition at my Flying Visit museum
This is one of the photos which I've uploaded to my site. There are more in the Special Detail section.

Hi Mike. Looking at that shot, I sometimes see the reflector as convex, and at other times concave.

You are not the only one.
It's a very nice form of optical illusion and when I first opened the page I thought the lamp body was pointing towards the top left corner of the photo and it stayed like that for many seconds while I tried to work out what I was seeing. When I blinked everything 'flipped over' and pointed to the lower right corner and it all made sense!
When I am making 3D models I have to be very careful as I can have the parts 'flip over' on me while working on them especially if they are in wire-frame mode and it can get very confusing very quickly!
