night flier goods (pic)

promised to get a pic up of the lights i've been running for dark sessions.

these are called finger lights. and a glow stick.

i taped the battery cover closed they seemed weak. lasted may be 16hours, two have lasted a least 20 ( one still works) the salt sand and moisture really ruins them. watch battery set up really not worth replacement. i don't like the battery thing and the glow stick is only good for use. it seemed very wasteful. i am using a little better quality light set up, but basically the same. most of the time on the rear line connectors so the lamp points into the canopy(they do spin some but the light id is the same) usually fly a 12m C-kite so the weight really isn't much of an issue. i have used the NPW5 a few times with out problems(on the front lines).

I am looking for a tiny MAG LITE type of product with rechargeable single AAA bat. If anyone knows of something like this please advise. I have used some small bike/clip -on beacons.



I called the lite canopy the CHADOLANTERN

last week had 2 sessions that ran into the sunrise WOW! beautiful

bob could not get the pics on U2U so here you go.
peace
