FAQs

What voltage do these LEDs require?

The LEDs require a supply voltage of 3-4V DC.

Can I use these LEDs in moving model cars?

For use in Faller's Car System vehicles, you need to use the dedicated Blinking Electronics (Art. 163760-163765). These LEDs are primarily for static applications or where a separate flashing circuit is provided.

What is the size of these LEDs?

They are international size 0805, measuring approximately 2mm in length, 1.25mm in width, and 1.1mm in height.

What is the flashing frequency?

The flashing frequency is approximately 1.5 Hz.

How many LEDs are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 5 self-flashing red LEDs.

Can I control the flashing speed?

No, the flashing speed is determined by the integrated microcircuit and cannot be adjusted.

Troubleshooting

LED does not flash

Verify the power supply is providing a stable 3-4V DC and check the polarity of the connections. Ensure the LED is not damaged.

LED is constantly on or dim

The power supply voltage may be too high or too low. Ensure it is within the 3-4V DC range. Check connections for good contact.

LED flashes too quickly or too slowly

The flashing frequency is fixed at approximately 1.5 Hz by the integrated microcircuit and cannot be adjusted with these LEDs. For variable flashing, consider alternative electronic components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to integrate due to the built-in flashing circuit.
  • Adds realistic visual effects to static models.
  • Compact size makes them suitable for tight spaces.
  • Low power consumption.

Cons

  • Requires a stable 3-4V DC power supply.
  • Not directly suitable for powering within moving vehicle systems without additional electronics.
  • Fixed flashing frequency of approximately 1.5 Hz may not suit all applications.
  • Sold as a pack of 5; individual LEDs cannot be purchased separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Power Connection: Connect the LEDs to a stable 3-4V DC power supply. Ensure correct polarity.
  2. Integration: Solder or use appropriate connectors to attach the LEDs to your model's wiring.

Compatibility:

  • Power Source: Compatible with any 3-4V DC power source (e.g., batteries, regulated power supply).
  • Car System Vehicles: For illumination within Faller's Car System vehicles, the separate Blinking Electronics (Art. 163760-163765) are required, as these LEDs are not designed for direct integration into moving vehicle power systems.

Care:

  • Handle LEDs with care to avoid static discharge or physical damage.
  • Keep connections clean and free from corrosion.
  • Ensure the power supply is within the specified 3-4V DC range to prevent damage.
