01 · What it is

Digital effects for miniature lights

A

Every light addressable

Headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals and underglow each get their own channel, and every one can take any color and brightness.

B

More than 150 functions

Sequenced turn signals, fades, strobes and color cycles run on the controller, so a parked car can keep putting on a show.

C

Cars first, planes next

The first kits are sized for 1:64 die-cast cars, and larger scales fit with room to spare. Planes and other miniatures are on the way.

These are the same switches the control page gives you, so tap them to light the car.

02 · How it works

Four parts in one tiny car

  1. 01

    The controller

    A 15 × 15 mm board, smaller than a dime, with the wireless link built in.

  2. 02

    The battery

    A small rechargeable cell sits inside the body and powers the lights between charges.

  3. 03

    The LEDs

    Addressable RGB LEDs on fine wires reach every lamp position, and each one can show any color.

  4. 04

    Your phone

    Join the car's Wi-Fi and run headlights, tails, brake lights, turn signals and underglow from the browser.

Fits 1:64 scale die-cast cars, and larger scales too. A kit install guide is coming.
