LIGHTING VOLTAGES.
All lighting typs (except where stated in the PDF) come with resistors for the voltage you specify - (in the main 4.8v to 7.2v).
I do not recommend running lights from the same power source as receivers due flight safety.
AAA rechareable cells are widely available at quite high milliamp ratings and are quite suitable for lighting.
A variety of lighting device sizes available in RED and GREEN andWHITE - all are intense.
The WHITE is 140 degrees angle of view and the RED and GREEN 90 degrees AOV).
All three are the same intensity.
A 1 watt Powerlight of 140 degree angle of view (extreme right in photo above) is also available in RED ~ GREEN ~ WHITE and BLUE.
3mm NAV LIGHTS
RED ~ GREEN ~ WHITE
These are quite intense for their size. An excellent small light.
TINY COCKPIT LIGHTS
Small. 1.8mm "pimple" on a 2mm square base.
WHITE~ RED ~GREEN ~ BLUE ~ YELLOW ~ ORANGE
Exceptionally brilliant compared to similar types which are only around 20/30 MCD.
These are from 500 mcd to 2000 mcd (by colour)
WHITE 2000 ~ Green 2000 ~ Blue 2000
Yellow 500 ~ Red 500 ~ Orange 500
True colours ( and the WHITE is REALLY white ) .
For use as Nav lights on a SMALL flying model or
will bring an instrument panel to life.
They are also ideal for nav lights for a static PLASTIC KIT model.
6 Pack. All one colour or mixed.
CIRCULAR LIGHT ARRAY

FOUR CHANNEL RC SWITCH
This unit will be ok for operating 4 functions incl LANDING LIGHT(s),
FLASHER UNIT for wingtip flashing white lights and/or any other
device requiring switching on/off.
Sequential operation of the operating switch or lever moves from one operation to the next.
The unit comes with 4x3 pin female sockets that plug into the unit for connecting whatever you wish to operate
YOU solder wire to ONLY 2 PINS PER SOCKET (middle and lower).

FLASHER FOR WING TIP LIGHTS.
~ SOLID STATE ~
FLASH-FLASH / PAUSE / FLASH~FLASH / PAUSE SEQUENCE
Will flash 3mm and 5mm diameter lights AND 1 watt or 3 watt intense lighting devices.
LIGHTS ARE SYNCHRONISED.
OPERATES DIRECTLY FROM TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER
POWER = 6v MAX -
This unit replaces the original unit I handmade some time ago. It handles more powerful lights than the original.
Can also operate via an on/off switch direct from a battery (but an appropriate
value resistor for any voltage above 6v DIRECTLY FROM A BATTERY
MUST be inserted in power supply to unit).
This unit will be approx 1 inch long and 1/2 inch wide (25mm x 12.5mm approx)
NOTE. I have added a 3 pin plug and output connecting wires to lights, to enable modellers
who are a bit timid at soldering to have virtual plug and play.
OTHER FLASHER UNITS AVAILABLE
(Lights synchronised) to flash either RED or WHITE
Small Unit flashing 1 flash per second flashing either a
Red or White or
Red AND White
ALSO
Small Unit flashing 1 or 2 lights at 2 flashers per second flashing either a
Red
or White or
Red AND White

WITH RED LIGHTS OR WHITE
OR RED AND WHITE
Program chipped. Normally 6v max but can be operated with a higher voltage
This unit can operate with up to three outlets.
Each outlet can operate three lights.
Each outlet operates alternately to each other in sequence
Lights on each outlet when operating do so in synchronisation.
Wide angle and very bright lights used.
Works well, especially with medium or large lightheads for obstuction lights red , or hazard lights white (clear)
Small size. PCB approx 1" x 1/2" (25mm x 12.5mm approx) and heatshrink covered.
Comes with voltage input wires and output wiring.
HAZARD/OBSTRUCTION LIGHTS

Diamete LENS = 12mm (Approx)
LENS HEIGHT INCL CHROME BEZEL = 9mm (Approx)
Comes fitted with intense light and ready wired.
MEDIUM LIGHTHEAD
These hazard/obstrucion lightheads are available fitted with intense lights and connecting wires ready for you to install.
Requires a 10mm hole to fit.
TOTAL Length = (25mm)
Black base diameter = 9mm (approx)

RED Lens Diameter = 8mm (approx)
RED Lens Height = 8mm (approx)
When connected to a flasher - these lightheads DO NOT require a resistor
between the lighthead and the flasher unit.
HOWEVER
BOTH types of of lightheads shown above SHOULD NOT be connected directly to a power source such as a battery WITHOUT an appropriate value resistor inserted in the POS line betwen the voltage source and the light - or the light will destruct.
LANDING LIGHT COMBINATION
Fit in leading edge of wing or the nose of certain aircraft
Reflectors available with 12mm diameter bowl AND an 18mm bowl.
A 5mm diameter light paired with reflectors will do the job.
REFLECTORS

One to fit 5mm POWERCHIP lighting device
One to fit 3mm diameter lighting devices.
ALSO an 18mm reflector is available to accept a 5mm light. Reflector of 40mm diameter for a larger than 5mm diameter light.

IF required for other purpose(s) BOTH THE ABOVE can be fitted with a
RED GREEN OR BLUE LIGHTS
SEARCHLIGHT and LANDING LIGHT above..
Whilst a resistor is ok for 1 watt lights - if 3 watt lights are neded, then
be aware, a voltage regulator and a heatsink must be used for full brilliancy (heatsink can be a 2p piece).
These are available on EBAY and are quite cheap.
