Overview
The EFL Y-Harness 12-inch (2): Universal Light Kit P-EFLA616 is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts looking to add realistic lighting effects to their electric RC aircraft models. This universal light kit harness is designed to integrate seamlessly with E-flite and compatible RC systems, making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants to enhance the authenticity and visual appeal of their flying models. Whether you're a seasoned RC pilot in the UK or an enthusiast exploring the world of scale RC aircraft, this Y-harness provides a simple yet effective solution for powering multiple light elements on your model simultaneously.
Built with the modeller in mind, the EFL Y-Harness offers a practical and reliable way to connect and manage light systems across your RC aircraft. The 12-inch length provides sufficient cable reach for most aircraft fuselage designs, whilst the dual configuration (2 harnesses per pack) means you have flexibility in how you route your lighting circuits. This product is compatible with the broader E-flite Universal Light Kit ecosystem, working seamlessly with controllers and extension leads to create a comprehensive lighting solution for your RC model.
As a key component in the universal lighting system offered by E-flite, the Y-harness allows UK-based RC aircraft owners to upgrade their models with functional landing lights, navigation lights, and other illumination features that add realism and safety visibility to their flights. Whether you're restoring a classic warbird like the E-flite Hawker Hurricane or building a custom aircraft from scratch, this harness provides the connectivity you need to bring your lighting vision to life.
Key Features
- Universal Compatibility — The Y-harness is designed to work with the E-flite Universal Light Kit system, meaning it integrates perfectly with compatible controllers (such as the EFLA600 Universal Light Kit Controller) and other system components, giving you flexibility in how you build and expand your lighting setup.
- Dual Harness Configuration — Each package contains two Y-harnesses, providing you with redundancy and the ability to create multiple light circuits or to outfit several models, maximising value and giving you options for different aircraft installations.
- 12-Inch Length — The 12-inch cable length strikes a practical balance, offering sufficient reach for routing through most RC aircraft fuselages without excess cable bunching, whilst remaining manageable for installation and troubleshooting.
- Reliable Connection Design — The Y-harness is engineered to provide stable electrical connections, ensuring your lights operate consistently and reliably during flights, which is essential for both day and night RC flying sessions.
- Simple Installation — As part of the universal light kit family, the Y-harness is designed for straightforward installation without requiring complex modifications or soldering (when used with compatible pre-assembled components), making it accessible to RC modellers of all experience levels.
- Space-Efficient Design — The harness topology allows you to split a single controller output to power multiple light elements, reducing the need for additional controller channels and keeping your aircraft wiring neat and organised.
Technical Performance
The EFL Y-Harness 12-inch (2) is engineered as a precision electrical interconnect component within E-flite's Universal Light Kit ecosystem. The harness assembly features a 12-inch cable length, which has been carefully dimensioned to accommodate typical RC aircraft fuselage layouts whilst minimising cable slack. The Y-configuration design allows a single input connection to branch into two separate output paths, effectively doubling your lighting capacity without requiring multiple controller outputs or additional wiring complexity. The dual harness package (2 units per box) provides RC modellers with either backup components or the ability to configure lighting systems across multiple aircraft simultaneously. As a passive electrical component, the Y-harness introduces no power loss, impedance, or signal degradation—it simply provides a reliable mechanical and electrical junction point. The harness has been designed to work within the specifications of the EFLA600 Universal Light Kit Controller and integrates seamlessly with other components in the E-flite lighting system range, including the EFLA613 Universal Light Kit Extension Lead. The construction and materials are consistent with E-flite's quality standards for aircraft electrical components, ensuring long-term reliability even in the vibration-prone environment of an RC aircraft fuselage. UK RC aircraft enthusiasts will appreciate that this component represents an affordable, modular approach to adding realistic lighting effects to scale models without requiring major airframe modifications or custom engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the EFL Y-Harness 12-inch suitable for my RC aircraft lighting project? — Yes, if you are using E-flite's Universal Light Kit system components (such as the EFLA600 controller), the Y-harness is the correct choice for your project. It is designed to integrate directly with these components and provides a simple way to power multiple light elements from a single controller output. The 12-inch length is suitable for most RC aircraft, though you may want to combine it with the EFLA613 extension lead if you need additional cable reach.
- How does the Y-harness connect to my RC aircraft? — The Y-harness acts as a passive connector component. One end connects to your light kit controller (or to another harness or extension lead), and the two branch outputs connect to your individual light elements. This branching design allows you to power two separate lights from a single controller output, simplifying your wiring architecture.
- Can I use the Y-harness with other RC light kits? — The Y-harness is specifically designed for use with E-flite's Universal Light Kit system. Compatibility with other manufacturers' light kits should be verified by checking connector types and electrical specifications before purchase.
- Do I need soldering skills to install this harness? — The Y-harness is a pre-assembled component, so no soldering is required for the harness itself. If you are connecting it to light elements or a controller, the type of connections required depends on the specific light components you are using—some may feature plug-and-play connectors, whilst others may require soldering or crimp connections.
- How many lights can I power with one Y-harness? — The Y-harness branches one input into two outputs, meaning you can power up to two separate light elements (or light circuits) from a single controller output. If you need more light branches, you can chain additional extension leads or Y-harnesses together, though you should verify total current draw against your controller and power supply specifications.
- What is the difference between the Y-harness and the extension lead? — The Y-harness (EFLA616) splits one input into two outputs, allowing you to power multiple lights from a single controller output. The extension lead (EFLA613) simply extends cable length without branching, making it useful when you need more reach but not additional branches. Many modellers use both components together to achieve both extended reach and multiple light connections.
