Key Features

These professional-grade light strips dramatically improve visibility and create a striking visual effect, making your Blade 230 S IC2 unmistakable in the air during evening or low-light conditions.
- Dedicated Wiring Harness — A purpose-designed wiring harness is supplied with the kit, specifically engineered for the Blade 230 S IC2 helicopter. This harness ensures clean, reliable electrical connections between the LED light strips and your helicopter's power system, eliminating the need for improvised wiring solutions and guaranteeing safe, professional-grade installation.

The included wiring harness and pre-engineered components mean you won't need to perform complex modifications to your helicopter; instead, you can have your model ready for night flying with minimal fuss.
- Enhanced Low-Light Visibility — Combining white rotor blades with active LED illumination gives you multiple layers of visibility enhancement. This dual approach ensures your helicopter remains visible and easy to track even in challenging lighting conditions, improving both the enjoyment of night flying and your overall flight safety.
- Official Blade Product — This is a genuine Blade component designed and manufactured to the exacting standards you'd expect from a professional RC helicopter upgrade. By choosing an official Blade kit rather than aftermarket alternatives, you're assured of perfect compatibility, reliability and support from authorised UK retailers like RC Model Shop.
Technical Performance
The Complete Night Light Kit Upgrade is engineered specifically for the Blade 230 S IC2 helicopter platform, incorporating precision-matched components that integrate seamlessly with your existing aircraft. The white night blade set provides superior light reflection properties compared to standard rotor blades, utilising specialist materials that catch and reflect available ambient light to enhance visual tracking. The LED light strips operate from your helicopter's existing power system through the dedicated wiring harness, which has been designed to draw minimal current whilst delivering maximum illumination. This careful engineering ensures that the addition of night lighting does not create excessive drain on your battery or compromise flight duration. The harness provides reliable electrical connections with proper current-limiting design to protect both the LED strips and your helicopter's electronics. The complete system has been tested to ensure that the addition of the night blade set and LED lighting does not adversely affect the helicopter's balance, flight characteristics or control responsiveness. Installation involves no modifications to the helicopter's airframe or electronics, meaning the upgrade is completely reversible and does not void any existing warranties or support arrangements.
