I ordered a package of 25 of these to amortize shipping and secure a better unit price. I’ll be holding onto at least three for my own personal use, and that number may grow with attrition. But if you’re looking to convert a small payloader to a night rocket, they might be your ticket.
They do include a clip on the back side since I think they were originally supposed to be used to light up wild hairdos (I didn’t get them from a rocketry website). You’ll want to bend or remove the attachment point if you’re installing it inside a clear BT-20 equivalent plastic tube but it’s not that difficult. Smaller tubes will not fit.
Exterior mounting….you’ll have to figure that out on your own. Next time I’ll try to get the ones with stick-on magnets instead.
Replacement battery is (I think) an LR927 button cell. You might be able to get this at a CVS Pharmacy or similar, but check the supplied battery before paying for a replacement.
The two that I tested each blink green, blue, then red, followed by a brief shutoff period. You should be able to see the pattern in the attached video, even though the colors aren’t fully accurate.
If I have them with me at the range, I’ll hand them out for free. If you see me, just ask. If you’d like to set up a meeting, send a PM.
I will ship outside the SoCal region but I will ask that the recipient cover at least part of the postage if able. Send me your ZIP code so I can get a price and we’ll talk about the split.
Take as many as you need, just be courteous of other fliers. I’ll want details about your project if you’re taking more than 5 but I won’t outright refuse to make a larger shipment.
