Using State of the Art Devices and PCB design we've made a reasonably small and lightweight isolation switch capable of switching high current batteries directly. Advantages we think this offers:

- Isolation of all electronics on the ground for safety
- No connection pitting compared with using large switch based isolation solutions
- Minimization of EMC radiation as connectors are plugged in and out
- External electronics can be used to switch the power system on / off
- Auto Off in case of aircraft incident. A pull out cable can switch power off automatically
- Simple very low current toggle switch can be mounted more or less anywhere for easy power isolation
- No micro, no software, just solid state analogue design for best reliability

Isolation (switching) normally happens when very low current is drawn, however the switch still needs to pass the full current when ON. This switch will happily pass through the heavy currents required by many large multi-copters and electric aircraft. (70A continuous. Much higher for few seconds bursts).



Yes that's 140A!

We think this is a unique solution on the market today, please do tell us if this is not the case.

I work at Bluelight Technologies and would like to make an announcement about our new Nav lights products:

We have a Super bright version (day-time visibility) and an Ultra bright version (Scale / night-time). The features are the same, just the brightness and size of the lights themselves.
Here is the Super bright version, BL-NavLV-S:

- SUPER bright double blink strobe / beacons and landing lights
- 8 (expandable to 11) Super Bright 100 lumens per LED lights
- Navigation / Strobe / Landing (red, green, and white)
- Two low battery modes (Time and/or low Voltage)
- RC Tx input (Lights on/off, Landing lights coincident with gear down)
- Servo output to activate parachute when low battery
- Small warning LED on controller board: Battery low or very low
- Redundant battery can be connected to the controller
- A 5V BEC output In case of LiPo failure or for other lights
- Set up via on board DIP switches + free PC tool for advanced features
- Powered from 5v to 26V, no need to connect main LiPo
