Safety Information
The guarantee/warranty will expire if damage is incurred resulting from non-compliance
with the operating instructions! We do not assume any liability for consequential damage!
We do not assume any liability for property damage and personal injury caused by
improper use or non-compliance with the safety instructions! In such cases the warranty/
guarantee is voided.
• The product must not become damp or wet. Danger of short-circuit! Loss of guarantee/warranty!
• This product is not a toy and not suitable for children.
• The LEDs are only suitable for direct attachment to the MC lighting system (Conrad item no. 207232).
Observe the technical data in case of different wiring/use! The LEDs are destroyed by non-observance. Loss
of guarantee/warranty!
• Attention, LED light: Never look into the LED beam! Never watch directly or with optical instruments!
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• Handle the product with care; impacts, shock or fall even from low heights will damage it.
Assembly
• Install the LEDs to your chassis or car body with suitable aids (instant adhesive, cable ties, etc.).
• Place the cables so that they cannot get into rotating drive parts. Also observe that the vehicle’s wheels will
not touch the cables even when deflected.
For best visual effects, we recommend that you find the match position before final attachment of
the LED-lighting and to initially attach them with transparent adhesive tape only.
Connection
The LED lights „Angle Eyes“ are only suitable for direct attachment to the MC lighting system
(Conrad item no. 207232). Always observe the technical data in case of different wiring/use! The
LEDs are destroyed by non-observance. Loss of guarantee/warranty!
• Connect the LED lights connection cable to free slots of the MC lighting system with the installed plugs.
Always observe correct polarity and the information from the lighting system’s operating instructions. The
red cable is „+“ (plus pole), the black one „-“ (minus pole)
• One plug supplies the outer lighting rings (1), the other one the high-power LEDs in the middle (2), the „Angel
Eyes“.
Calculation example to connect a single LED:
Assuming that the light diode used has a supply voltage of 3 V and a power intake of 10 mA; connection should
be by a 2-cell LiPo-battery (fully charged approx. 8.4 V).
First, the required voltage drop at the ballast must be calculated:
8.4 V - 3 V = 5.4 V
Now use Ohm’s law R = U : I to calculate the dropping resistance Rv:
Rv = 5.4 V : 0.01 A = 540 Ohm (use a 560 Ohm-resistor in practice)
Use the formula P = U x I to also calculate the output the dropping resistor must be able to withstand:
5.4 V x 0.01 A = 0.054 W (in practice, use a 1/8 W resistor)
To connect all 2 LEDs in parallel to a voltage source, the current across the ballast is also 2 times
as high and must be considered according to the above formulas.
Disposal
Dispose of the product according to the applicable statutory provisions at the end of its service life.
Technical Data
Operating voltage of the LEDs .................... typ. 3 V/DC
Max. current of the outer LEDs, per LED ..... 5 mA
Max. current of the inner LEDs, per LED ..... 20 mA (recommended 10 mA)
Dimensions of LEDs .................................... 8 x 25 mm (Ø x L)
Cable length ................................................ 300 mm
Total weight ................................................. 20 g
Low deviations in dimensions and weight are due to production technical reasons.
Attention!
To connect the LEDs to a drive battery, a suitable ballast (Rv) must be added for each LED. If this
is not observed, the LEDs are destroyed within a few seconds. Loss of guarantee/warranty!
