Default Easy to install night kit

Does anyone just make a night kit. I know most of this stuff is DIY, but can I just buy everything I need in one kit with easy to follow directions?

I am thinking of getting into this night stuff. I want to start small, I was thinking my 130x or maybe 450.

Anybody know of kits for those??? I would prefer a glow wire look over led but not reall too picky.

Thanks for the help.

That would be nice to order one complete package with everything needed. The only thing close to that I've seen is a DIY night blade kit from Perfect Regulators.

I do have a couple of links for short led strips with pre-soldered JST connectors from ebay.

The good thing about those is they are not screamingly bright like most led strips. They seem to be dialed back just a bit and can be viewed directly without the "burned retinas" after images on the back of your eyelids.

That vendor has some neat night flying/driving offerings.

You could also check out www.hobbypartz.com , www.commonsenserc.com and www.bphobbies.com for led strips and connectors.

For a 450 size heli I always recommend a separate small 3s 350mah or so lipo for the leds.

I dont have any experience lighting up anything smaller but there are a bunch of threads on the topic if you go back a page or 3.
