Turbo's SUPER Paramotor Lights

Hi Cloud Hoppers
Just a 'wee snippet' of a movie to show how you can light yourself up like a Christmas Tree for a very modest sum of money ;-)
... one 12 volt Zenon Strobe (£12 off eBay, inc' p&p)
... a pair of 12 volt 5050 LED clusters (£5 off eBay, inc' p&p)
I did have to take the Zenon Strobe apart (with a dremmel) after the first flight, as it vibrated one of the capacitors off (ooops). A quick fix with my trusty soldering iron.

Hi Robster

YES ... I was pleasantly suprised at just how well they work. Each 'pod' (small plastic dome) appears to have three 5050 LED's in it, and they connect to a common controller box (40mm square 10 mm thick), which I've stuck behind the harness.

They were advertised as a 'Motorcycle Strobe Decor', so I figured they must be fairly vibration proof?

Time will tell?

Those cheapo LEDs look quite bright Turbo.
