UniLight Economy 4 Controller MODUL-E4
The ECONOMY.4 is the simplified version of the BLACK.4 controller. It has been reduced in certain features to provide a simple and cost-effective lighting system for smaller and medium-sized models. It is significantly smaller and lighter, limited to lower power outputs and lacks certain protective features to keep costs down. However, it still offers four control functions:
Channel 1: Strobe Lights The strobes are very bright white flashlights, typically placed at the wing tips or rear fuselage. They often share the same casing as the position lights.
Channel 2: Navigation/Position lights These lights divide the surrounding space into 120° sections: green on the right, red on the left, and white to the rear. These lights typically operate continuously, but some may flash.
Channel 3: Beacon The red warning lights are mounted at the top and bottom of the aircraft, often on the vertical stabilizer, and indicate "Warning, engine on." They can function as a strobe (ACL) or as a pulsing light (simulated rotating light).
Channel 4: Landing spotlights These are always white and face forward. They are usually installed in the wing, engine pod, or landing gear.

Assembly Instruction:
The ECONOMY.4 does not have its own battery input for the lights, so small lighting systems can be directly connected to a HV receiver. However, please ensure the receiver’s load capacity is suitable. Alternatively, a separate battery can be connected via the included Y-cable. Despite its compact size and focus on cost-efficiency, the ECONOMY.4 includes several features from the uniLIGHTPLUS family. It can be programmed and configured with the uniLIGHT DESK. The button only allows you to change the flashing pattern and speed of it in solo operation.
Warning Notice:
Please note, we do not offer warranty coverage for damaged outputs or power amplifiers. We recommend using the BLACK.4 with short-circuit protection to prevent potential failures.
Please note that we cannot accept any guarantee for damaged outputs / power amplifiers. Use a BLACK.4 with short-circuit protection to prevent any failures.
