Plastic Fibre Optic and White LED Kits. FK3:  Our most popular introduction Kit. As reviewed in Railway Modeller Dec 2010

To try out the technique of lighting with White LEDs and Fibre Optics these kits supply all you need to get started.

Kit contents: 2 metres of fibre optic light pipe and two 12 volt DC 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 building AND drives several fibre optic cables as well.              

Fibre Optic & White LED Kit  FK3:
 2 Metres of 0.75mm diameter fibre optic cable and two pre-wired 12 volt bright white LED assemblies with instructions. £5.49 post free to UK & EU.
This is an ideal starter kit to experiment with light placement using white LEDs and fibre optics. Individual items available separately on this page.
  •  

    Fibre Optic Cable Kits. F0.75  For further modelling as supplied in above Kit

    5 metres length of 0.75mm diameter for £3.98 post free to UK & EU!

    This is a good compromise size for small model illumination and spot effects like car headlights, Etc. Easily worked. Can be cut with a scalpel. Many can be illuminated from one LED.

     

    White LEDs assemblies:

    These assemblies can be used to light small models and also work well with the above Fibre Optics as the light source. They run cool and have a lifetime of several years continuous. They are fitted with resistors to allow direct connection to standard power supplies. All versions are DC only and correct polarity MUST be observed. The overall length of the connecting wires is 250mm. Supplied with instructions and hints on modelling and illumination techniques.
     

    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.

    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.

    A simple method of mounting is 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.

    Important: Make sure that the positive supply is connected to the RED wire. Reverse connection may damage the LED!

    A new and simple Fibre Optic Lighting Module: FM1

    For those who aren't happy soldering or wiring, here is a lighting unit ready to run straight out of the box

    A small efficient mains power supply drives a bright white LED coupled to 10 fibre optic cables. These can be passed through holes in models to produce bright spot light effects. If the fibres are too long they can be cut with scissors or a scalpel to fit the model. Great for adding tiny lights in Dolls Houses, Model cars, Railway buildings, Etc. The cable from mains plug power supply to the LED is 3 metre long. The fibre optic cables are 400 mm long and 0.75mm diameter.

    Because the power supply and cable have standard USB connectors, the LED/fibre cable can be extended by using a standard USB male to female extender cable.

    This is a really simple way to add spot light effects to your models
