Wayne Dowler Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Eli - how do they hold up to a crash or unplanned landing on the LE?? I know, a good pilot doesn't do that anymore, but for general consumption, I'm asking about durability!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaginCajun Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I use iNova Microlights. They are foolproof, failproof and pretty darn shockproof. They all come with clips, easily attatched to any kite or line, come in assorted colors. They can be seen for MILES, and can be set to low, high, or strobe. I use them on all my kites, slk's, dualies and rev. Depending where you get them, anywherer from 5 to 8 bucks each, replacable batteries are cheap too. The only brick and mortar I have found them in is Academy, for 8 bucks, and a 6 pk of replacement " button " batteries is 2 bucks. Highly recommended.http://www.inovalight.com/microlight/ ( and a set of batteries will last 24 hrs or more, they take two ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Australian Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I have got to get some lights, It is getting dark in the mornings. I cant start flying till 5:30 now. Has anyone put up Info on attaching these to a Rev? Pics of how they clip on would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 My pleasure RAGIN - to be clear, any sales through that link also generate a very small % to KiteLife's associate account with Amazon. We don't know who ordered what, no personal info at all, just a little kicker for us referring folks to them. No change in price for you, and this works with *anything* you order from Amazon for a couple of weeks after clicking that link. Thanks!

RaginCajun Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 That's awesome John, even more of an incentive!!! I like that. Is that anything that Amazon sells? I just bought a few things a couple weeks ago off amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystainedskin Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Here are some lights on " Oats" Rev 1. Said they were cheap. Just slipped them between rod and bungee at the endcaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessGirl Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Has anyone tried these lights on a kite? They are designed to be taped to a disc golf disc, so I imagine they would have to be taped to the kite. They last over 24 hours, and are disposable. Squeeze them to turn them on/off and switch between steady or flashing modes. They have some color changing ones too, but I think that would be confusing unless they are synchronized. I have several already, but I'm wondering how hard it would be to remove them if I tape them on. Thoughts?http://www.nightflightdiscgolf.com/disc%20lights.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexracer Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'm working on lights for my SLE. It's a harness system running on 2 CR2032"s. I used velcro to attach. I put the "fuzzy" (loop) side permanently on the kite at the leading edge (x5) and I'll use small elastics to put one light on each tail end cap. Those lights look like they should work well...you might try the velcro so you don't have to keep peeling adhesive off of your kite. My harness with batteries, holders, lights, wiring and velcro weighs in at 26 grams, but may go up since I didn't have any resistors when I assembled it so I wired it direct to 3v batteries. Should be about 1oz when done. If you hear of any UFO sightings in western CT don't worry. It may just be me testing my night lights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rastas000 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I just recently purchased 100 finger lights from a seller on eBay (China based) for under $18AUD delivered. About 8 are inoperative mainly because they seem to have turned on in transit and flattened the batteries. Given the price of button batteries, these, at his price will become throwaway items.

Khal Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I posted this over on the revkites forum a while back: http://www.revkites.com/forum/topic/4568-glowing-revs/page-2#entry84535 It's a video clip of flight testing a light rig I made for my Revs that changes the LED colors based on the orientation of the kite.
