CobLEDs Ultra Bright RC LEDs for Drones Planes & Cars
Woah! How Bright are these RC LEDs from Menace driving up-to 8 insanely bright cobLEDs from one board. You know you are going to have to get your sunglasses out as here comes some of the brightest LED’s for your drone, plane, boat car or any RC model.
These RC LEDs are perfect to be seen racing, for freestyle flying, lighting up your aircraft and also excellent for creative light painting at night.
The Menace driver takes care of you, it converts the power from your model battery to the power requirement for the RC LEDs and can be configured from 2 to 8 LEDs depending on how brave or how bright you want to go.
The ergonomically designed driver layout assists for simple installations into your model and with being light weight makes them a hardly noticeable weight addition to your model.
Also the driver is designed as a constant current control circuit for improved power conversion and efficiency.
Capable of running 2, 4, 6 or 8 cobLEDs from one driver *
Catering for a wide input voltage range to cover for model batteries from 2S up to 6S *
Stack mountable with 2x mounting holes for 20mm stacks or simply break away the tab to reduce the driver size for installing into smaller models.
Connect to your flight controller for On / Off control via the EN pad connect to 0V for off. **

When I first set my eyes on these strips, I was not expecting much however I was proved wrong. These LEDs are not like others, they are super bright… blinding bright and you may need sun glasses while using them so bright you can see them in the daylight lighting up your craft. Each strip is 60 x 8 x 2mm with the LED mounted on a length of aluminium (the strips do get hot to touch but you can still hold them) and two small 2mm screw holes 53mm. There is a choice of 3 colour’s RED, BLUE and WHITE and you can power up to 8 off one cob driver, I found the current was pulling 0.5amp on a 4S using 4 LED cob strips so you may find you need to use 8 on a 6S battery only. You cannot connect the strips direct to a battery as you must use a Cob driver and wiring them is not hard at all (see manual). The Cob driver has a pad en and to switch off the LEDs you just connect this pad using a switch to the ground, Menace also has a fantastic switch 15A Continuous 50A Peak if you are connecting direct to the receiver using a servo output. If you have a flight controller it is simpler again as you can use a UART. So where can you put them, nice thin strips so on a Qaud you can fit them on the arms, on a plane you could fit them to under light the wings and on a wing you can light them up for orientation. So get them sunglasses on and fit these Cob strips to your craft, also there is a fantastic review by Painless 360 https://youtu.be/JPgbfyvkch0
