Each LED should be wired individually to a series resistor (see diagram below), as this ensures long, reliable
operation of the LEDs, as well as simplifying the circuit.
Cut down the LED terminal pins to a length of about 8 mm, leaving the longer pin of each pair slightly longer; these
are the positive (+) terminals. Solder the thin braided wire - or, better, lacquered copper wire - to the pins.
Thread the pairs of wires through the holes in the mast, and test each LED separately before soldering the series
resistors in the circuit downstream of the switches. It is advisable to install a fuse rated at max. 2 A in the battery
circuit.
The circuit shown is only a suggestion.
The lighting system components are not included in the kit.

The seven switches (10) can be replaced by electronic switching modules. This requires no changes to the model's
wiring arrangement.
We wish you many hours of pleasure building the model, and "working the boat on the water" - by day and by night.
