Lighting the Lindburgh UFO

Post by Banshee1000 »

I'm going to attempt this kit for the fourth and final time (the seam between the upper and lower saucer drives me crazy), and for visual interest I opened the door with one of the aliens standing there, and added an interior light.

But the light was wired to a transformer. I'd rather set up something to a battery case. Although I can do household electrical work, I'm a sad neophyte when it comes to working with small lighting projects, so I need to keep it very simple. Does someone make a kit that would fit what I'm trying to do?

Thank you for your help.

Alan

I have no experience with the UFO kit nor have I seen it up close in person. So, tell us what you want the lights to do (apart from not starting a fire), how it sequences, what colour, etc and take pictures of the kit inside out so we can see how the LEDs can be mounted.
What can I take apart today?
