To achieve the the
greatest degree of realism, many modeling projects desire lighting effects
that go well beyond simple static lighting. Many require effects that are quite dynamic, producing animated behavior to mimic
a wide variety of devices. Below are our products
specifically designed for LEDs that we've developed
to support a wide range of dynamic lighting effects. We hope you find them
innovative.
Due to the
wide variety of modeling scales, LEDs for use with
these products are sold
separately and can be found by clicking on the
Lighting Products link at the left side of this page.
Rotating Beacon Simulators
These module reproduce a highly realistic
simulation of a rotating beacon by sequencing LEDs (sold separately) that are
positioned to produce the effect. See LED Construction in the
More Info tables to the right for complete information. The timing of the
rotational effect closely replicates that of typical rotating beacons used on emergency,
construction, utility
and military vehicles. The N8042A version is configured for white or blue LEDs. The N8042C
is for a red or yellow 4-LED assembly that simulates the "gumball" type
of rotating beacon $12.95

Do you need a special lighting effect that that
no one produces or have a unique prototype requirement? We may be able to
help. The N8050 will support 1 LED output, the N8051, 2 LED outputs, and the
N8052 will support 3 LED outputs. For an additional programming charge
(quoted separately), we will program the appropriate simulator to create
your effect. Just email or call us with your requirements. We will review
them, determine if they are within the capabilities of our simulator, and if
so, respond with our quotation. Delivery can be within 2 weeks and our quote
will be reasonable. $12.95 $13.95 $14.95
Machine Gun Simulator (WW1) $12.95 The Marslight modules (N8031/A) produce a highly realistic Mars effect which is very eye-catching.
Output intensity varies from dim to full-bright through a triple-pulse timed
to imitate side (reflective) shine as well as frontal shine of the oscillating
Mars pattern. The N8031A version of this module is configured
with an additional output for an optional headlight. See Connecting
in More Info to the right. The N8031B Super-Marslight Simulator
provides output for 3 LEDs to create the visual effect of an actual
moving Marslight. See the video of effects
in More Info above. The N8031C version is for a Marslight with red
LED. The NLD8110-03 version is for a simultaneous
dual-Marslight output on a single low-voltage simulator board.
This tiny,
low-voltage/low-current Simulator produces navigation lighting
for many different drone craft. Five 3mm LED lights are provided: 2
white for alternate flashing LEDs for the drone front, 1 red LED for
port mounting, 1 green LED for starboard mounting, both flashing and
a steady-on white LED for rear mounting.
The module is fully
pre-wired with 6" leads for easy installation.

High-current Smoke Generator Controller & Timer The N8103B
Smoke Generator Controller/Timer is essentially a very high current
switching circuit combined with one of our N8050 single output Simulators
programmed as a timing circuit. The timer is mounted on the Current Control main board. The heart of the Current control board is a N-Channel
HEXFET Power MOSFET that can act as a power switch to easily control up to
16 Amps of 12-volts DC. Note: Actual power
switched is based on power supply (not included) that is connected to the
N8103B.
Dual Sequential MarsLights w/ Roto-Ray emergency flasher The N8LD110-04/05 simulates two Mars light
simulations with staggered start times for random appearance.
One for a white LED and the other for a red LED. Also included
are outputs for a 3-LED Roto-ray rotating emergency flasher.
The -04 is configured for a modern 360RPM
Roto-ray , and the -05 is configured for
an earlier-era 120RPM Roto-ray flasher. The
NLD
versions are for 3.3-volt operation

As with the N8103 Booster Boards above, these Super Boosters come in 3 flavors: N8103A-1 to support a single output Simulator, N8103A-2 for 2 output Simulators, and N8103A-3 for 3-output Simulators. A Simulator is easily be piggybacked on a Booster Board (connecting wire included) and share a common power input for both. However, there are many modeling situations where a particular lighting effect may be desirable if it can be reproduced on many LEDs (series or parallel groups) or LEDs that exceed the 25mA or 5-volts DC. This is where our Booster Boards shine (forgive the pun). At just 0.8" x 1.50", these small boards increase a simulator's output up to times a Simulator's output and a DC voltage range of 9-18 VDC. This greatly expands the versatility of many of our Simulator products, especially where LEDs can be wired in series groups!
Our Simulator boards can also be programmed to perform as timer modules to
turn on and off outputs in timing ranges from seconds (or even
milli-seconds) to hours. When coupled with these Super Boosters a vary wide
range of control and automation can be performed.
Standard voltage operating range for the Super Booster Board is 6 to 18 volts DC. This voltage range is determined by the on-board voltage regulator mounted on our Simulator boards The Boosters come in 3 flavors: N8103-1 to support a single output Simulator (i.e., N8032 Beacon), N8103-2 for 2 output Simulators (i.e., N8038 Early-era Alternating Flasher), and N8103-3 for 3-output Simulators (i.e., N8043 Universal Strobe). A Simulator is easily be piggybacked on a Booster Board (connecting wire included) and share a common power input for both. This is the big brother of our Simulator Booster Boards. It is exactly the same size (0.8" x 1.50") as our N8103 product above, but has a much larger final-stage power transistor for the output. This allows a much wider range of control of many of our newer products like multiple sound modules or much larger groups of LEDs. It also allows driving much higher current LEDs for special lighting situations.
The tiny size of our Miniature Simulator modules above make them
extremely versatile for all modeling scales. However, this size also limits
output driving capability to 25mA at 5-volts DC per output channel. This is
sufficient to support a very wide range of lighting effects.
