Browser Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Hi, next weekend I'm due to fly my kite(s) at night for the first time and wanted to make a lighting rig for my Premier 11ft Bat so that his eyes light up! I've bought some high intensity LEDs and can wield a soldering iron, I was wondering if anyone had any website I could look at for advice or could offer tips on the best batteries to use as I don't want something that's too heavy for the poor thing to lift! Any ideas Quote
Backspin23 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 I made a light set for a duel line kite, it has 10 LED lights on it and it runs fine off a 9 volt battery, you can also use several AA batteries, but I like the simplicity of a 9 Volt and it doesn't weigh the kite down much. of course I'm only running 10 LED's so if you want more than that you may want to hook up a couple more batteries. the best place to attach the batteries is along the spine right about where the center of gravity is.

Progcraft Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Check out this place for ideas: http://www.vientocero.com/kpb/ First, click the 'english' link on the bottom left. Then In the menu on the left, click 'Misc', then click on 'lights'. I use a 9 volt battery t o power my lights. I made them like little spotlights that clip onto the win spreaders and shine onto the sail. hth P. Quote
