Default RE: Night Flyer Lights. Glow gas and electric?

Thanks for the reference

I've gone through all the post on that sight and the only useful info has been a link to a specific hook-up to a 3-cell lipo for an electric plane.
Lots of the post are about 4 years old or older with little to no information

The link is really good for that application. How about 4.8 volts, & 6 volt or 18 volt set ups?

Also interested if others have totally different set up.

Hi Buckmeister,
I think you will get more information and help from this group: http://www.rcgroups.com/night-flying-522/
You can buy ready made lights or LED light strips from places like Hobby King, their prices are reasonable. A decent soldering iron and a DMM are useful for designing your own lighting system, plus it doesn't hurt to have a friend with some electronics experience. Places like Dimension Engineering have ready-made landing lights that just plug into the receiver; they even have programmable lights and RC relays if you want to get crazy! Have fun!
