Overview

These modular, warm white LED Light Strips are great for any LEGO® project, any model railroad layout of any scale, in Department 56® or Lemax buildings, in dollhouses, or in any robotics project to add detail and interest and capture that “wow” factor. No electronics or soldering knowledge is necessary to set up these lights and start using them right away. Each flexible 2-LED Light Strip has a self-adhesive backing, which allows easy mounting to almost any surface. The strips are flexible, allowing you to mount them even on curved surfaces. Each Light Strip has connectors on each end, so strips can be daisy-chained. This kit includes nine Light Strips (a total of 18 LEDs), enough to light one standard-size LEGO® Modular Building. Because the lights are so small, they also fit well in model spaceships, or just about anything you can think of that needs a little light! This kit also includes a battery pack, so you can be up and running right away.

Use the included adapter boards to create chains of Light Strips or light boards (sold separately), and you can add light to even the largest model project-- everything is modular, and everything works together seamlessly. The included connecting cables are made from very thin and flexible wire, so you can easily hide them in your installation for added realism. Unlike other light modules that use 12V or 24V, these use 5V DC and are ready to use with any microcontroller or robotics project—no need for complicated resistor calculations (though if you use them with a microcontroller, make sure to keep in mind that all nine strips use about 150mA-- watch your microcontroller's current capacity)! The Light Strips produce almost no heat, allowing for installation in the smallest spaces.

To help get LEGO® fans going, this kit also includes nine white 1 x 6 plates for mounting the Light Strips, and 10 black 1 x 2 plates for holding the connecting cables in place. All LEGO® parts are in new condition.

Details

This kit includes:

• Nine self-adhesive LED Light Strips with warm white LEDs and adapter boards to connect them to a 5V DC power source. Each strip measures 7mm (0.28 in) wide and 50mm (1.97 in) long. Each strip has a clear epoxy coating that protects the LEDs and provides uniform light distribution, but note that the Light Strips are not waterproof.
• One 3xAA battery pack with on/off switch.
• Three adapter boards for connecting the Light Strips in a variety of configurations.
• Eleven connecting cables (two 24” cables, one 12" cable, six 6" cables, and two short cables) to connect to power or other Brickstuff lights.
• Nine white 1 x 6 LEGO® plates and 10 black 1 x 2 LEGO® plates.
• Perfect for all hobby applications-- small size along with thin and flexible wire makes for easy installation into small spaces.
• 5V DC operation means the Light Strips are also compatible with microcontroller or robotics projects (Arduino compatible)-- just make sure to observe the total supported current of your microcontroller output pins! If you want to use your own 5V DC power source, just snip the connecting cable from the battery pack and connect to your own source.
• No soldering or electronics knowledge necessary—be up and running in minutes! This kit includes everything you need.
