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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Star Trek TOS Starships Lighting Kit for 1:1500 scale & larger models

 

The NK032 Lighting Kit consists of two circuits configured to produce lighting effects for  Star Trek TOS (The Original Series) Starships. The primary (larger) circuit is programmed to realistically simulate the Navigation lights, 2 outputs for white LEDs for lighting the Bridge/Sensory/Engineering Hull/Saucer section, an orange LED for the Impulse Engine, 6 LED outputs for the 2 Warp Nacelles, and a single white LED output for the  Starship's I,D. lighting. These outputs are timed to sequentially turn on. Click on Connecting in the More Info table above for details.

The secondary circuit (also a separate product shown below) is for Phaser & Photon Torpedo control.

Enterprise NX-01 Navigation Lights Simulator

This module is programmed to realistically simulate the port & starboard navigation marker lights of Star Trek® Enterprise version NX-01 (the original, Commissioned in 2151 (Stardate -172000).  It is configured to drive 3 series pairs of red & green LEDs with two pairs blinking (saucer top & bottom) at the correct rate, and one pair on continuously (warp nacelles).

Photon Torpedo Simulator

The N8091 Simulator is programmed to realistically simulate the visual effects of the Star Trek® Photon Torpedo initialization and firing sequence like that seen on the starship Enterprise. The module can be setup for manual firing only, manual firing with auto-repeat option, or auto-repeat only. The N8091B has the added "throw" optionThe NLD version uses our low-voltage 3.3-volt simulator.

Enterprise NCC1701A Phaser

The N8095 is designed to simulate the approx. 4-second burst of light (blue LED) as seen when firing a phaser cannon on-board the early NCC-1701A Star trek Enterprise.

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.

At just 3/4" square, this product series includes a state-of-the-art current source which provides a constant 20 ma for LEDs connected to the module. This means any color 20 ma LED can be connected without the need for external current limiting resistors, multiple LEDs can be connected in series (requires a power source of sufficient voltage) and different colors of LEDs can be combined in the same series. All will operate at 20 ma.

For certain applications it may be desirable to have the LED (or series string) connected to operate at less than full brightness. For this purpose, solder pads are included on the back of the module for placement of resistors to adjust of current source output.

Input voltage range 6-16 VDC. Extra power wires included.

AUTOMATIC CURRENT PROTECTION!

Machine Gun Simulator

This simulator generates a rapid stream of pulses alternating between 2 connected LEDs whenever the input pin is grounded. The timing and duration of these pulses mimics the appearance of automatic weapons fire like that of Star Wars® X-wing fighters. The N8060A version of this module is configured for 4 LEDs alternating between pairs to simulate 4 guns firing.

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.
