    I guess since this is a lifeboat going out to make a rescue, the old song, โ€œWhat do you do with a drunken sailorโ€
    makes a good application, he wonโ€™t be able to tell you anything about the reds and greens. He is just be glad you are there to rescue him.๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿคข๐Ÿงœ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    Hi Hermank, my friend, don't worry, you're forgiven, but don't ever do it again, hahahaha.
    The fact is, many of us here are familiar with Colreg, Iala, and many other international regulations, and on top of that, there's also AI, which, with the question of the day, is training us and creating infallible war machines, hahahaha.

    Many years ago the model on the front cover of the Model Boats magazine had the feature article model image reversed. I expect the graphics designer thought the photo looked better that way round.
    Having written that I think I used to know the graphics designer, but more into soldiers, he was a very nice guy, but there you are!

    Hi Hermank, congratulations, you did a great job.
    I also think the green light should be moved; the red light should be on the left.

    For the switch, I suggest using radio-controlled ones instead of manual ones if you have the radio channel available.

    Red is on the Port / Left side of vessel.

    You have your navigation lights reversed.

    What size LED diode are you using?

    Hi Luke you're idea regarding lighting is possible. I have mine linked to an electronic switch and a fob that i have attached to house keys. It allows me to have the lights completely separate from the receiver and is powered by a small 2s li-ion. It means i can independently control 4 light functions, though one channel can easily be a radar or smoke machine etc. For flashing i'd opt for a simple flasher unit.

    I'd normally opt to wire all the static lights together then blinker seperate. For smoke unit or radar i'll fit an inline fuse. With the 2s battery it's enough for a weeks worth of sailing.

    Best wishes
