Some years ago I had purchased the RAM brand of Nav lights and landing lights for a TF C-182 that I was building. The project got put on hold (and still is) so I never used the light system. A few weeks ago I had pulled them out of their packaging to play with them a little and see how well they worked for a future scrath build project. Well, they didn't work! I don't know if the circuitry was damaged somehow during all the storage and moving. Like a few others, electronics is not one of my strong suits. I can solder wires together cleanly, but beyond that I'm clueless. I guess the reason I'm responding here is because I too would like a simple setup for lighting a night flyer. A seperate NiCD battery pack is the way I'd like to power it. KISS with pictures please!

I just saw today (7/5) a website, rc-lights.com, that has a plug and play system available. Has anyone used this, and what were the results?
