Product Description

STRIX 5-6S Multicolor Switchable LED (1PC)

Brighten up your aircraft and secure unmatched structural visibility with the STRIX 5-6S Multicolor Switchable LED Board. Designed specifically to eliminate the frustrating weak point of traditional LED boards—fragile, mechanical DIP switch boxes that easily break off in crashes—this solid-state solution relies on heavy-duty, solder-bridge selection pads. Built to handle direct high-voltage power inputs ranging from 18V to 26V (5S to 6S LiPo setups), this ultralight lighting strip lets you confidently select from seven vibrant color combinations to customize your platform's look and maintain line-of-sight tracking.

This robust LED strip offers incredible versatility across several key operational fields. In the RC hobby and FPV racing market, it provides an elegant, crash-proof method for identifying teammates in team racing events, lighting up night flyers, or indicating flight status under low-light canopy conditions. For the educational and STEM robotics market, it serves as a straightforward, hands-on teaching asset for introducing students to custom solder jumping, circuit current draw variations, and physical vehicle classification. For sUAS contractors, enterprise drone builders, and military testbed operations, these ultralight boards function as highly repeatable surrogate indicators—perfect for maintaining long-distance visual tracking on daytime surrogate target models, ensuring strict orientation tracking on custom fixed-wing experimental aircraft, or functioning as simple, low-draw system-live diagnostic beacons.

Tech Tip: To illuminate the board, you must establish at least one solder bridge across the designated R (Red), G (Green), or B (Blue) control pads. Mixing and matching multiple bridges opens up secondary color options like Magenta, Cyan, Yellow, and White.

Key Features:

• Crash-Proof Solid State Design: Replaces fragile mechanical toggle switches with flush, permanent solder bridge pads that can never snap off in a hard landing.

• Direct 5S-6S Voltage Support: Natively tolerates high-voltage inputs from 18V to 26V, eliminating the need for bulky step-down BECs or voltage regulators.

• Seven Switchable Colors: Choose between Blue, Red, Green, Magenta, Cyan, Yellow, or White simply by connecting the corresponding solder gates.

• Ultralight 1.2g Footprint: Features a slim, low-profile design that packs three high-intensity LEDs without impacting your center of gravity or adding parasitic drag.

• Optional Adhesive Backing Included: Ships with custom-cut double-sided tape for quick, tool-free placement along airframe arms, wings, or structural fuselages.

Recommended Items & Needed to Complete (Available at ReadyMadeRC): To cleanly mount, wire, and select your colors on this STRIX LED strip, we recommend checking out these current solutions from ReadyMadeRC:

• Environmental Protection: Pair with 30mm PE Translucent Heat Shrink to insulate the solder bridges while allowing the multicolor LEDs to shine through cleanly.

• High-Voltage Speed Controls: Match your heavy-duty 6S power system with the STRIX Rocket 65A 3-6S BLHeli-S Opto ESC.

• Power Delivery: High-quality RMRC Premium Silicone Wire (24AWG to 26AWG) to safely route main battery power out to the LED board pads.

• Workbench Essentials: High-grade solder and a fine-tip soldering iron to bridge your desired R/G/B color profiles safely.
