F. R. E. D.
The FRED can be powered by a 9 volt battery, fixed voltage
(6-20 volts) AC, DC, DCC, or by track power. The electronic
circuitry produces a high intensity flash of an ultra bright red
LED and is usable as an "end of train" device, on top of water
tanks, towers, ambulances, fire trucks, locomotives, caboose's
or other applications. They will fit HO and larger cars.
The FRED is furnished with double sided mounting tape and
includes wire leads with a 9 volt battery clip installed. For other
power sources simply cut the battery clip from the wires. If an
on/off switch is desired, item #524 does the job!
F.R.E.D. stands for Flashing Rear End Device.
3mm - # 556
5mm - #1539
All units have the same footprint of 0.84" x 1.65" but vary in their
LED color and operation as described.
The MARS effect is achieved utilizing a high intensity
ultra-bright incandescent white LED. This type of LED produces
light similar to that of a regular filament light bulb. The MARS is
usable in locomotives, on top of water tanks, towers,
ambulances, fire trucks, or caboose's. Wherever the effect is
desired.
The MARS is designed to operate from track or motor power
and is directional in operation for DC operators, or those
utilizing DC motors in their engines with any type of track power
(AC, DC, DCC, Radio Receiver - track or battery powered). The
MARS light will start to illuminate at approximately 4 volts DC
and start it's gyration at a slightly higher voltage. AC operators,
with DC motors or utilizing E-Units similar to DALLEE #518 or
#400, can merely connect the input power to the motor leads
and the MARS will operate when the motor is in one direction
and not the other. Otherwise, on AC track power, the MARS
light will operate continuously without regard to engine
direction. For stationary operation, a fixed AC or DC voltage
may be used.
The MARS will accept any type of input voltage up to 24 volts.
It consumes only a few milliamps to operate. It can also be
powered with a 9 volt battery or fixed voltage AC, DC, DCC or
other, for those seeking constant operational settings.
The MARS is furnished with double sided mounting tape and
includes wire leads. If an on/off switch is desired, item #524
does the job.
Item #547 is a dual mars light which contains two incandescent
white LED's which work in unison.
Customized high current MARS LIGHTS are also available for
the 1 1/2" operators. Call for details.

STROBE
3mm - # 545
5mm - #1535
The STROBE can be powered by a 9 volt battery, fixed voltage
(6-20 volts) AC, DC, DCC, or by track power. The electronic
circuitry produces a high intensity flash of an ultra bright T1
incandescent white LED and is usable on top of water tanks,
towers, ambulances, fire trucks, locomotives, caboose's or
other applications. They will fit HO and larger cars.
The STROBE is furnished with double sided mounting tape and
includes wire leads with a 9 volt battery clip installed. For other
power sources simply cut the battery clip from the wires. If an
on/off switch is desired, item #524 does the job!
BEACON LIGHT
3mm - # 557
5mm - #1536
The BEACON utilizes a high intensity ultra-bright RED LED.
The BEACON is usable on top of water tanks, towers, and
bridges as well as many other places wherever the effect is
desired. The BEACON oscillates it's LED gradually on and off
with a flash of high intensity when it's fully on.
The BEACON can be powered by a 9 volt battery, fixed voltage
(6-20 volts) AC, DC, DCC, or by track power.
The BEACON is furnished with double sided mounting tape and
includes wire leads with a 9 volt battery clip installed. For other
power sources simply cut the battery clip from the wires. If an
on/off switch is desired, item #524 does the job!
