As seen integrated into our popular Delta Altimeter Kite, LED String Alti allows you to ascertain the altitude of a kite or another object via colors and patterns. This product is intended for those who would like to integrate it into their own designs, be it kites or other flying objects. LED String Alti comes with an LED string with 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 LEDs that change color and emit different patterns according to altitude. There are 11 different settings with various methods of altitude display and for use flying at different altitudes. Although best suited for low-light conditions from sunset to sunrise, the device also logs up to 85 minutes of temperature and altitude data for viewing online in Eronotix Logbook.
