Specifications

Regulated LED Lighting uses track or other low voltage input power to provide illumination. Maximum illumination is
reached at a very low voltage and remains constant for the balance of the speed range. Regulated LED Lighting gives a
more intense and uniform illumination, uses less current and tends to ignore power interruptions caused by dirt on wheels
and track resulting in more flicker free lighting.
Warm White .... similar to a filament bulb for most cars. Cool White .... lighting found in modern cars.
Amber ............. kerosene lamp look.
Regulated LED Lighting is available in the following configurations:

Adjustable Regulated "LED" Lighting
The RL-LED boards are ½" x 10" or ½" x 18" long and contain four or eight LED's (depending on unit) positioned to create
uniform lighting throughout its length. The RL-LED contains regulated variable intensity adjustment from a minimum
brightness to full brightness. The power section is located on one end of the board, for the 10" units, thus allowing for the
LED sections to be broken off and moved from the straight strip thus accommodating various size installations such as
cabooses (most will only need 1 LED) or other shorter cars. The sections can be connected with wires or utilize item #757
connectors (10" boards). Larger connectors, item 521, can also be used with the 18" boards. The 18" boards, cannot be
made smaller than 9" length while the 10" board can have the entire power module removed from the LED's with a small
amount of wiring between the two units (power module and LED's). The RL-LED is secured with double sided tape. More can
be purchased if needed (item 388).
The LED's are less than 0.1" in height and have a 120 degree viewing angle thus allowing for illumination in all directions.
The typical light output for the Warm and Cool White LED's is 18 lumens per LED which is 72 lumens per 10" board and
approximately 140 per 18" board! This intensity is greater than that of any group of light bulbs at the same power level. They
are blinding to the naked eye and really can't be viewed directly - unless you want to see spots before your eyes! The 18"
boards use the same amount of low current as the 10" boards! The Amber LED's do not produce the intensity of the other
units but do provide the same 120º viewing angle.
Instructions, on our web site, show how to add extra LED's if needed for markers or drumheads.
The RL-LED boards can also be used to illuminate display cases, as well as buildings, without worrying about heat generated
by lamps or paint pigment discoloration due to infra-red light as from standard florescent lamps. Besides the cool operation,
you will also be saving on the cost of electricity to illuminate your displays!
