With our new night flight blades a simple, indirect illumination of the tail of most models up to 2 meters wingspan is suitable. At a few grams they provide enormous light output without affecting the flight characteristics.
uniLIGHT Night Blades
Compact dimensions with maximum performance
Minimal effect on flight behaviour
Novel cable and plugless assembly
Optimized, adjustable cooling reflector
Reduced self-glare
5 sizes for all rods
especially for wings and symmetrical for the tail unit
Asymmetrical design for maximum robustness
Safety holder with position light available
large systems as cable and autonomous battery version
Installation and operation
First glue the enclosed small contact plate firmly into the wingtips, sides or also at the elevator, preferably with good epoxy and optional pins. Make sure that the writing on the contact plates is legible so that the polarity is correct. In top view, the right is always a plus.
The connection cable is routed centrally to the fuselage within the surface. All Night-Blades can simply be operated in parallel on a 2S LiPo battery, or also on any uniLIGHT lighting control system. Pay attention to the excessive current load and sufficient battery capacity, switching off during deep discharge at night could be fatal!
For commissioning, simply place the Night-Blade with the two screws on the mounting plate and tighten, the electrical contact is made automatically. Make sure that the labels are always legibly oriented.
The reflector surfaces are bent once so that the largest possible part of the light emission is directed onto the model. ATTENTION: the reflector surfaces harden and can only be bent a few times. Fix the glued surface before you align the surfaces by hand or a small pair of pliers to prevent the glued area from breaking open.
After the flight the Night-Blades can easily be unscrewed and transported. No trace of the night flight system remains.
