Night Radian Remote LED Controller
Since the Night Radian first came out.. and I first saw one.. it was
obvious to me that there needed to be a way of controlling the LED lights remotely. I decided that this issue could be solved in the Night Radian. We (my company) decided to find a solution to remedy this. We designed a remote LED light controller that can be added to the existing Radian LED controller (soldering required) and can be fully controller by the Transmitter by 2 channels. One channel a 3 Pos switch to choose which button to press and a 2nd Channel to activate that button. In addition a 4th control will power the entire LED lights ON and OFF. All from the ground. We had produced a few prototype PCBs for testing and sent a few to Dave Mercier of MeRC fame for testing. A link to an earlier Post. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...&postcount=366 Here is the results of the tests with permission and courtesy of MeRC.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=bfAe3eq7PCI As of today the Radian Light Controller is available for sale on our website here.... https://www.laserbeelpm.com/rlc.html Any questions... just post them here.. PM me or you can send messages to our website [Contact] page. Jerry |

so that you can switch the LED light sequences and also completely turn them OFF and ON from your transmitter. The RLC Module only weighs 2.5 grams. For the wiring nest in the cockpit I would suggest re-routing some lines and use Zip Ties to clean it up a bit. Jerry |

FYI - If you're adding one of these controllers to a BNF version of the Night Radian, you'll have to make a slight tweak to the AR636A receiver. Out of the box, channels 4-6 are inactive. It's pretty easy to activate them using one of the Spektrum programming cables (USB or Bluetooth) and the Spektrum programming app. I configured GEAR to port 5 and AUX1 to port 6. On my iX12 transmitter, I configured GEAR to the momentary switch "I", and AUX1 to 3-position switch "D". Channel 1 of the RLC is plugged into GEAR/Ch5 of the receiver and channel 2 is plugged into AUX1/Ch6.
Even before installing the RLC, I had removed the mechanical on/off switch from the LED system...it seemed redundant. My RLC is connected to the stock switchboard with short wires and the 2 PCBs are joined back-to-back with foam tape. A single piece of heatshrink tubing insulates them. To make the footprint of the RLC a little smaller, I removed the servo pins and soldered the leads directly to the PCB. I have the boards mounted to the plastic bulkhead behind the motor. Terry |

Yeah I've recently found that the original Night Radian Receiver can be unlocked to get the extra channels. Can't see any logic in locking them out. Thanks for your knowledgeable hands on input.. ![]() Jerry |

Here is how I wired it.
@AGT6 I also moved it into the belly area with the RLC in the tunnel.
