those r self-sticking 12V led lights we get here at our local electrical market.  they r verry brright & dnt effect flight duration in any way !!
 I cant tell u how much fun it its to fly in the night.
i've been planning to come to goa along with my planes as some old friends wanna taste rc flying, we can meet then.

i just want to ask one thing...
How do propellers light up during night flying ?
are they special kind of night flying propellers like helis have special night flying rotor blades or its something else

They are powered by the same battery used for the plane
