There is much more detail and light!
Everyone must make there own mind. It is just my opinion!
It is not as clean a setup, either!
Those that have bought a set please post pictures!
Thanks Elvan Wilson II!
Elvan, STOP turning every post into a sell job. I'm sure there's a peddler's SubForum for that. And yers, read the Thread Title.

I like those fins on Shefs heli I see Rick makes them for trex 600 I probably would need 2 or 2.5m cold string to get the boom and those fins wrapped

Here's a couple of shots of my setup on my 600N. Simple setup, but works good. Maiden night flight was last night. Man! it's a gas to fly at night. I have the older (NiMH), MSCompsite baldes, the new tail blades and using Glowire.com drivers and wire.

Here is my own setup.

Align blades and Electrifly glow wire.... I will likely add to the glow wire again and try to increase the sight picture of the canopy.....

Here is my little 450 night set up. I run the glow wire and the K&B night blade LED at 7.4 volts from 2 cells of my 3 cell lipo, straight from the 2nd wire on the balance plug. No extra batteries, no extra weight, and not too much voltage to my glow driver..

I use the xerogear leds and ms composite main and tail blades. i like the leds because they are bright enough to light up the ground when you are below about 15 to 20 feet. https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=97990 Here is a link to some pics

Anyone know the set up Nick Maxwell did for his night flying at Ircha this year. Seems like his Heli was extremely bright. (I can't find the video anymore however)

Not mine, but a guy's sweet Xerogear setup at a funfly I went to a couple weeks back.

The pics looked cool so I thought I'd post em. Super bright I must say. This thing would light up the ground for about 10-15ft around the bird. Even from up to 20 ft or so off the deck, you could still see the ground under it!!:





Makes for some great trails at night:
