Jesse Stickley Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Flew the rev tonight and in the kite bag i had some of those finger lights. It started to get dark, but the wind was just too good and I didnt want to quit, So after 6 of those finger lights, 2 mounted on the endcaps of the lead edge spar, pointing out, 2 on the uprights, pointing down, and 2 more on the leading edge facing twoards the sail, plus add a tad bit of fog, and it was quite an impressive display. Had a few people watchin which was funny, because im in no means, "great" with a quad line kite. But it was definatly a cool experience, and looking forwards to flying at night again. Jesse Quote

I saw them when at Seaside and heard that Geezer found them at a Walgreens. I have checked out several Walgreens but have not found them. I also heard that they are available on the net. They sure look like the best kite lighting system. Easy to attach, light, and not very expsensive. Where can we find them. Quote

Jesse Stickley Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Posted October 14, 2006 I found mine at the checkout counter of walmart.. They are called Universal Finger Light LOL, thats whats on the side of them.. Had kinda a hard hit, and it accually switched one of them off, but, they were really taking a beating with absolutly no problems except that one that turned off, clicked it back on, back in action Jesse ps. Ill take a picture of the lights sometime today, so yall that dont have them can see exactly what they are. Quote
ant man Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 wall mart great were hetting one built only 2 miles from my house ive been wanting to know what i quad was using when i watched their night fly video Quote
Jesse Stickley Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Posted October 14, 2006 Here is what they look like.. Somthing is up with my camera, so the shots are not the clearest. Jesse http://www.putfile.com/jstickley Putfile didnt like the links, so you can see them there, just click on the kite stuff link and itll take you to it. Dont mind the other pictures lol Quote
ant man Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 i hope my wall mart has them im going to check this week do they stay on the kite with no problem and how good is the night visabilty ?? if so im sold i have the lytech el wire and thats stuff is bright but you need a wind to use it because it adds weight i need something for a lighter wind this could work Quote
John Barresi Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Those are the ones we like... It has a "slide" switch. Some others we got had a push button switch, and they tend to turn on/off in storage whenever they get bumped or squeezed... Same thing when you put 'em in your pocket. Quote
