Item Year Information

YEAR	INFORMATION
1991	Permalite allows you to switch your car lights on or off, whether you are racing or stationary. The Permalite control unit is simply connected to the set power pack and to the track. When Permalite cars are placed on the track their lights can be switched on or off even if the cars are in motion. Standard Scalextric cars with lights can be used quite effectively with this unit but with certain limitations. When the cars are stationary the lights can be switched on or off. If the lights are on when the car moves off they will be on full beam. If they are switched “off” the car will revert back to its standard function which means the light intensity will vary with the speed of the car. Permalite brings a new dimension to Scalextric and provides ‘full beam’ racing in the dark. When the daylight gives way to darkness switch on your lights and race in safety just like the real thing.
1992	Racing in the dark is exciting, skillful and a tremendous amount of fun. The cars on these pages all feature headlights, some have tail lights, some others have brake lights and cars such as the Lamborghini Diablo have all three types of lighting. Check the symbols against each model to see the features of each. All Scalextric cars with lights are suitable for use with the C.268 Permalite Control Unit.
1993	Although racing Scalextric is tremendous fun the excitement really starts to happen when the room lights go off and the cars with lights are put on the track. As with driving a real racing car you must drive within the capabilities of the headlights on your chosen car. This does make interesting racing as the more adventurous drivers may just try to gamble and go that little bit faster than they should. All the cars in this section are fitted with headlights. Some have brakelights which illuminate as the car decelerates, others have tail lights as with the new Ford Escort Cosworths and in some cases there are cars that have all three light features. Check the symbols next to each car and make your choice. All Scalextric cars with lights are suitable for use with the C268 Permalite Control Unit.
