say, experimentation
is the first step to your
dreams.
Be creative and submit your pictures and "how-you-did-it" notes for submission to the Gallery section. We welcome such submissions, information about interesting and creative uses our items have been put to, in modelling and model railroading. Technical: Our LED Support section provides additional information on most of the items here. For Resistors, Rectifiers etc. please visit the Elektrizmos section. |
Warm-White & White
A White LED is more bluish in color and looks like the flourescent tube light or the headlamps in new cars. The light temperature is 5,000° K. The Warm-White or also called Golden White emits light that is more like the traditional incandescent bulb and emits light at 3,000° K. |
|
Most of our products are Plug-n-Play with the resistor integrated into the assembly. The individual C5 and SMD LEDs need voltage & current control. C5 packages include resistors for use with 9-19v DC. For conversion from incandescent lamps/bulbs, we have introduced a variety of LEDs. E5 & C5 are designed to replace older bulbs. The Strips, which are also Plug-n-Play, use SMD type LEDs, C5, E5, W5, W3's are glass dome type. Dome types produce a narrow directional forward illumination. SMD's produce a wider angle of illumination. |
We suggest ACW (see below) a wire connector for strips, which has a built-in mini rectifier. You may add a mini rectifier that can also be ordered via our Elektrizmos section. |
Wires presoldered with our LEDs, connectors etc., such as W3 or W5, follow this standard rule: Black wire is Negative (-) and Colored wire is Positive (+). Lionel Users: Please see items E5, E10, L2S, L1T & L3. Most of these LEDs have Rectfiers built into them for working with either polarity. |

See these in our Elektrizmos Section. Picture shows two strips with two connector wires included. Sold singly with wire leads and connectors. Length: 10cm / 4 in ( 10.75 incl. connectors). Width: 8mm (0.32 in). Designed Power: 12v (See our Notes). Max. Forward Current: 60mA (Reduce for voltages higher than 12v) Max. Normal Current: 40mA Max. Reverse Voltage: 10v Our LED Support section provides additional information including their connectivity options, SMD Type etc. |
SMD
Lighting Strip for passenger cars. "Plug-n-Play" for use with 6v-19v
DC and will work without any additional circuitry. Used as is, in Marklin AC, and by our customers with DC/DCC as well. However, many prefer to use with ACW (see below). Our wire connector that has a built in mini-rectifier. That converts the power to DC. Connect two strips for longer passenger cars. Connect more for other uses such as background lighting, long stretches as platform lighting or illumination undel the layout table. Strips can also be cut in half for adjustment to total length required or for shorter lengths for example for a Caboose/Guard Van. Half the strip (5cm/2 in.) will work just as normally as a complete one. Visit our Gallery section for ideas. Please also see the longer version - S50 - below. |

Length SMD Lighting Strip.
Has different connectors. Cuttable & Plug-n-Play
designed for use with 12v DC and will work without any additional
circuitry. Works with voltages from 9v to 18v. Lower than 12v will
deliver lower intensity of illumination upto a certain point. It is
preferable to reduce current for voltages higher than 12v. Use these to
light station platforms, inside buildings etc. Cut pieces will operate
as independent Plug-n-Play strips. Shipping Note: Shipping of this item mey not be combined with other items, due to its size and shape, but shipping calculation includes shipping for this item. |

ACCW - Feed wire for Flicker Free LEDs New !! |
|
ACCW: Our Power feed with Rectifier & Capacitor (Designed and produced by TrainAidsA)Uses a Bridge rectfier & a 25v/220uF Capacitor. Colored wire is positive. Only one needed if two or more strips connected or powered from the same feed. Highly recommended for digital systems. Our Support section provides additional information on where and how to use ACW / ACCW. The ACCW has an additional advantage of reducing the flicker that accompanies LEDs when used in AC environment. For individual mini rectifiers, see our Elektrizmos section. Note: ACCW can be used with other LEDs for polarity & flicker control. Just cut off the connector. Do remember to mark the output end for reference. This is because both, the input and output look the same, once the connector is cut off. The connector is at the output end. |
