There is another method which I have heard of but not seen in action so this is just a maybe you want to try this. Landing light/taxi light is on a counterbalanced pivot so that it stays at the same angle relative to level. If the light is angled slightly downward when the counterbalance is level it will, in theory, stay at that angle relative to the ground no matter what the angle of the aircraft relative to the ground. In theory it should automatically stay pointed toward the runway. I saw this in an old EAA magazine and do not know if anyone ever used it but I think it is an interesting idea of you can work it out.

They could be made to follow the flight path of the plane with a microswitch and motor similar to the one used to set and adjust the trim tab's on some of the KR's that are flying. Once set the beam of light would follow the flight path of the plane and auto adjust to flight attitude within the given ability of motor travel used. Which if memory serves, in some was the electric mirror adjusting motor from car's and truck's. Eric Von Kelsheimer 3269 E.
