THE PLT LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING THE LANDING ROLL & THE ACFT STRUCK 3 LANDING LIGHTS. THE LEFT GEAR COLLAPSED & THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING. THE PILOT STATED THAT HIS LANDING LIGHT WAS INOPERATIVE DURING THE LANDING AND LACK OF CENTERLINE REFERENCE CONTRIBUTED TO THE LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL.
