I have a set of Unilights and will be using a 3 cell 9.9V pack for power. The lights come with a resistor installed for 8V and includes another resistor for 12V. With the battery I'm using I assume I need to install the included resistor but the instructions aren't clear on if the second resistor is installed in addition to the already installed resistor or if the additional resistor replaces the already installed resistor. Can someone let me know which is correct?

Also, if both resistors are to be used, does the second resistor need to be installed near the first one or can it be installed anywhere along the length of wire?

Thanks,
Kirk

Unilight now sells resistors specifically for use with Life batteries:

The instructions (for both these and the 'standard' 3s Lipo resistors) say to add them in addition to the included resistor - I don't think it matters where.

If you are worried about doing this then you can use the relevant adapter cables (however these aren't currently available for 9.9v batteries):

Thanks for the info.

I ordered the LiFe resistors and a few other goodies last night from the Unilight web site. This morning I had a FedEx tracking number with a delivery date for 6/25. So far, I'm impressed with the service. I rarely receive things I've order that fast in my own country.

Hi,

Yes, the higher voltage needs the dedicted resistor additionally and anywhere in the wire of the lamp - it's quite easy. Sure the resistors are not the most sophisticated way to make it, but its easy, cheap and reliable... but of coruese there is some space to improove that in future

I hope this site is still alive,, i installed the NAV lights on my new jet,, Turned them on and I have green lights on both wings.. Did I wire it wrong??? THANK YOU

Did you order a red light? Sounds like you got two green lights from Unilight. Wiring won’t change the color.

Thank you for your reply,,, When I received the lights I tested them.. I had 1 red and 1 green.... After the install I now have 2 green... Very confused Thank again

Can you send the part numbers for the lights you bought?

Good morning FlyJ,,, The lights are installed.. The part # on the box is 6X-090x2 RTWE and GNWE it's apparently 2 green one's were shipped. I messaged the company I bought them from and no reply,,
Guess I will find another company that sells them and buy from them THANK YOU

Dreamworks RC has Unilight

Thank you,,
