This is a special version of our All-In-One NavLights, intended for use in a static model where there is no RC signal present, or in a regular RC model when you do not have a spare channel to use to control the lights. The wingtip lights, the strobe, and the simulated rotating beacon all come on as soon as the circuit is powered, and do not require a signal from the radio to function. Because there is no control from the radio, this set does not normally include landing lights, however landing lights can be added for a samll additional charge. The circuit can also be modified to feature twin beacons or twin strobes, just use the Contact Form to let us know what you need.
This version version features our 8mm 1/2 Watt Straw Hat LEDs, which are much brighter than the "standard" 5mm or even 8mm LEDs in lower wattage sizes. And the 8mm LEDs feature a unique "Straw Hat" lens that speads the output of the LED in a 120 degree angle, so they are much more visible when viewed off angle, meaning they do not have to be viewed directly from the front.
The stock version of this set features 2 Wingtip Lights (1-Red, 1-Green), 1 Strobe (White), and 1 Simulated Rotating Beacon (Red). Additional lights can be added if required. The Simulated Rotating Beacon is accomplished using PWM (pulse width modulation) to make the LED look as if it is rotating. The unit can be powered directly from a battery or power source of 5.0 -8.4 volts DC, or can be connected to an RC receiver in any active channel (including any channel being used for a control surface) using a regular servo "Y".
Also included are 6 x Led Holders and a pair of our 6-pin MPX connectors for installations that require removal of the wing or wings.
New Option: For those customers who prefer to power their NavLights from an external battery pack, we now offer an External Power Pack that can be ordered sepeartely. It includes a 2S 7.4 volt Li-Po battery and all the cables necessary to power the circuit.
No Signal All-In-One NavLights-8mm (Giant Scale)
This circuit features our 8mm 1/2 Watt High-Brightness LEDs, which are made with a special 120 degree lens molded on the top of the LED to provide a much greater viewing angle than a "standard" LED. Each of the 8mm LEDs draws about 120mA when on, however the Strobe and Rotating Beacon LEDs draw much less because they are only on for a fraction of every two seconds, and landing light LEDs only draw full current when they are switched "on", so total current use is not excessive. No additional battery is required, all are powered by the receiver's battery. Wire lengths are 60" for each LED, and all wires can be easily shortened or lengthened as needed using regular speaker or zip wire.
In response to a lot of requests from our customers, the All-In-One Navlight set is designed to give you the best of all worlds, a single unit that includes wingtip and landing lights, as well as both a strobe and a rotating beacon. This unit has 4 operating modes, allowing the Landing Lights, Strobe, and Rotating Beacon to be independently switched from the tranmitter using a single proportional channel (channel 6 or higher). It also features 3 different blink patterns for the strobe, and 2 different "speeds" for the rotating beacon, which together provide 6 different combinations of strobe and beacon patterns. A small, push-button switch on the main circuit board cycles between the 6 patterns, and the unit remembers the last setting chosen even after the battery has been removed from the plane. So once you select the pattern you like best, you don't have to find it again the next time you fly. The 4 operating modes are:
Mode 1-Wingtip Lights ON (the circuit enters Mode 1 as soon as the receiver is powered on.)
Mode 2-Rotating Beacon ON
Mode 3-Strobe and Rotating Beacon ONMode 4-All lights (Wingtip, Beacon Strobe and Landing Lights) ON
Modes 2, 3, and 4 can be mixed to a 3-position switch for added convenience. Consult the instruction manual for information on the % of mix necessary to use a switch.
This set can be customized with additional strobes or beacons, or if you prefer, it can be powered from an external battery. Just use the Contact form from the top menu to provide us with the details of what you need, and we can come up with a navigation light set that's perfect for your model.
