The RC Night-Flight LED Kit

Everything to light up a plane, hovercraft, or custom build — the Wi-Fi LED controller, the matched 12V WS2815 strips it's built for, and the wire, connectors, and power to run it. Buy the pieces that work together instead of guessing which strip is compatible.

The Brain

Wi-Fi RC LED Controller

Runs nav lights, strobes, underglow, and custom effects from any phone browser — no app, no spare transmitter channels. Built and tested by hand. This is the piece that makes the whole kit go.

Compatibility first: the controller drives 12V WS2815 addressable strips — not 5V WS2812B, not plain RGB. The strips below are the right type; confirm any strip with the compatibility checker before you buy, and size the wiring for the strip's current draw. Power it per the setup guide — a 3S LiPo direct, or a 12V BEC/supply.

New to addressable LEDs? The WS2815 buying guide explains strip density, length, and power, and the airplane lighting guide covers nav-light placement. Lighting doesn't make an aircraft compliant with full-scale rules or replace visual line of sight.
