Mini Blingz are produced by a company called Ultimate Gig Lighting. Originally made for the fishing market, they realized many others could use their lights. Soon they started marketing to boat, jet ski, motorcycle, and skating groups, to name a few. Now they are offering a set specifically for our RCs. I was sent two styles for evaluation. The larger set are not intended for RC and might be a bit clunky for our purposes, but there still many ways we could use them. For instance, they could light up your display shelf for your cars, or light up your pit area. You could even give your workbench an under glow, for that high tech look. You may also find a purpose for these on a larger 1/5-scale, or just use one of the individual segments. The larger set does not include a power source, so you will need a 12V DC adapter to power them. If you want to run them on your RC and you’re running a 3S LiPo, you can wire them straight into your battery plug. If you are running anything other than 3S, you will need a separate power source. I have seen people run small 300mAh LiPos just for powering their light sets.
