Model railway lighting.
Dolls house lighting. Model boat lighting. Model ship lighting. Plastic Fibre Optic and White LED Kits. FK2: To try out the technique of lighting with White LEDs and Fibre Optics these kits supply all you need to get started. They source a length of fibre optic light pipe and two 12 volt white LED assemblies. * This allows direct illumination of buildings, boats or dolls houses and at the same time ------- * Indirect illumination through fibre optic cable which can produce tiny spot light effects using the same LED that lights other structures.Typical uses are for railway modellers to create tiny lights within buildings and vehicles. This is particularly useful for the smaller gauges where conventional lamps are too large to be realistic. Fibre optic cable is easy to work with and can be bent to a small radius. All kits come with instructions on cutting and preparing with hints and tips on various applications. See the videos above for construction techniques. If you are encouraged to use this techniques then separate LEDs and fibre are available
Example of headlights and external lights added to small N gauge models using fibre optics. The cars are 16mm long! In the above example, one LED illuminates the buildings AND drives several fibre optic cables as well.
Fibre Optic Cable Kits. F0.75 Due to a large purchase of 0.75mm diameter plastic Fibre Optic Cable we are now able to offer this in 5 metre lengths for £3.99 post free! This is a good compromise size for small model illumination and spot effects like car headlights, Etc. This cost saving has allowed us to improve the value of the FK2 kit above.
White LEDs assemblies: When used to drive fibre optic cables remember that one LED can drive up to 12 cables
Example of how the White LED assembly can be used to light small models. The solid copper wire allows simple position adjustment. In the above example the LED beam has been used to produce a light pattern through the front door. The rear door illumination is enhanced by placing mirror foil in the roof to reflect light back.
Important: Make sure that the positive supply is connected to the solid copper wire.
White Microlights WML1:
These tiny bright white LEDs produce a wide unfocused light unlike the white
LEDs above (LEDW12 and LEDW5) which produce a narrow focused beam. They are pre-wired micro lights for miniature models consisting of a white
surface mount LED mounted on a small piece of double sided tape that can be
simply attached to miniature models for illumination. In the second picture
above a micro light has been attached to the ceiling of a 1:144 scale house. It
comes with a choice of resistors to allow connection to any DC power supply or
battery between 5 and 12 volts. The LED is fed by two very fine enamelled
covered copper wires that are self supporting and are inconspicuous. It only
requires a very small hole or aperture to feed the wires into the model. The tiny assembly is fairly delicate and requires some care during
installation but if you are already modelling in small gauges you probably have
the required skill level.

A simple method of mounting
(as above) is to take advantage of the self supporting feature
of the LED assembly by attaching a terminal block underneath the baseboard and
connect the LED to it through a hole in the baseboard. This also eliminates the
need for soldering.
