What is the power source for the lights, and how do we connect them? Someone help me out please.

I used a 12v wall brick that was rated at 1a. Placed a 2.1mm connector on the side of the box so that the wall brick was removable.

Re: Neon lights for Target Assembly
How about plugging the lights directly to the battery?

Heh, the design schematics say to put all the lights (8) in a small box and cover it with that white plastic. Ours works great and the camera tracks pretty well with it.

Same here. We soldered a battery connector to our box wires and used an old one from last year. Works great, and the camera tracks it just fine.

We connected our light up to a computer electrical supply and are running two lights off of that. Hope that helps, just solder the cables to the connector and plug it in.
