Well folks, it's finally here. Thanks for all your suggestions and the beta testers who helped with the development.
Below is the description from the website. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have - feel free to ask them here.
Also, please note that initial demand is expected to be heavy. If you order a controller you may have to wait longer than usual to receive your order. I'll e-mail you with an ETA once the order is placed.
Regards,

------------------------------
The FlightLites Landing Light and Accessory Controller is the newest edition to the FlightLites product line. Suggested by discussion group members and club flyers, this module embodies many of your suggestions and requirements.
The controller is very simple in its operation and therin lies its versatility: Connect an input plug to a receiver channel and an LED to the associated output. When you move that channel's stick past a pre-set point, the light will turn on. That's it!
The controller's versatility is apparent when you see the options you have available. There are two independent output channels - one that operates when you move your stick "up" and one that operates when you move your stick "down" (see the User Guide for more details.) You can use the first channel to tie your lights into your throttle and the second to operate with a switch or slider. Or mix the second channel with your flaps to turn your lights on when your flaps go up! Both channels also have programmable setpoints. You can choose the exact stick/knob/switch position that actuates your lights. The programming procedure is simple and takes less than a minute.
Finally, don't limit yourself to landing lights! With an additional patch cable you can power your FlightLites Lighting Controller with your Landing Light controller. Just plug it into an output and use a control on your radio to turn your entire lighting system on and off from the ground. You are only limited by your creativity - how about a sound module? or a parachute/bomb release? a camera? Anything that requires 5 volts to operate can be actuated by the controller as long as it does not exceed the current limit. Please feel free to share your ideas and suggestions with us on our message board or any of the other RC discussion boards on the web.
The FlightLites Landing Light and Accessory Controller is also available as part of a kit that incudes 2 high-power Landing Light LEDs - use one per wing or double them up for a super-bright nosewheel lamp.
