Which night flight lighting fits your model?
Lucid night flight lighting comes in four sizes. The right one depends on the wingspan of your model – here is how to choose.
Choose by wingspan
The wingspan decides: the larger the model, the more LEDs per wing end it needs to stay clearly visible at night. Every set contains two lights, one for each wing.
| Size | Wingspan | LEDs per end | Light (L × W × H) | Weight per light | Power | Price (set of 2, incl. VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48–60″ | up to 1.5 m | 1 per end | 114 × 26 × 7 mm | 3 g | 6 W @ 8.4 V | 28.00 € |
| 60–91″ | 1.5–2.3 m | 2 per end | 213 × 44 × 7 mm | 12 g | 12 W @ 8.4 V | 44.00 € |
| 91–104″ | up to approx. 2.6 m | 4 per end | 254 × 52 × 7 mm | 20 g | 24 W @ 8.4 V | 98.00 € |
| 104–125″ | up to approx. 3.1 m | 6 per end | 320 × 68 × 7 mm | 30 g | 36 W @ 8.4 V | 158.00 € |
Between two sizes? Take the larger one – more light never hurts in night flying.
Inches or centimetres?
The sizes are named after the wingspan in inches, as is common for RC models. One inch is 2.54 cm.
| Size | Wingspan |
|---|---|
| 48–60″ | approx. 1.22–1.52 m |
| 60–91″ | approx. 1.52–2.31 m |
| 91–104″ | approx. 2.31–2.64 m |
| 104–125″ | approx. 2.64–3.18 m |
What else do you need?
- Mounting plates: matched to every size, so the light can be screwed on cleanly and removed again at any time.
- Power supply: a 2S LiPo (7.0–8.4 V) powers the lights.
- Controller or switch: to switch the lights on and choose the light pattern. The MiniSwitch has one channel, the 8-channel light controller has eight light channels and two ignition channels.
- Hook-and-loop strap: to secure batteries and cables.
