LED & Fibre Optic Prewired Light Kit

Star Wars Millennium Falcon

Supplied With UK Mains Transformer

This light kit has been designed and built primarily for use with the Revell Easy Kit 1:72 Falcon models: 06658, 85-1854, 06694, 85-1822, 06718.

The set has also been used in the Fine Molds kits too, as can be seen here:

www.world-in-scale.de/modelle/verschiedenes/1-72-star-wars-millennium-falcon-by-revell-fine-mold/

It may fit other 1:72 scale model types - please check the dimensions of your model for suitability and available interior space to house the wiring.

This is a great quality light kit, featuring x28 Ultra Bright 3mm LEDs, x1 colour changing fibre optic LED and a 20cm ( x12 SMD LED) neon blue strip.

The fibre optic LED changes between red, green and blue at alternating fast and slow flash rates, and uses 1mm diameter fibre optic cables.


LED Colours & Intended Uses As Follows:

I've put this lighting configuration together, as it seems to compliment the model well, and is a popular choice by many model builders.
You can see in the main photo where I have placed each LED in the underside section of the model, which you can use as guidance if you wish, but it is totally up to the discretion of the model builder.

Inexperienced builders - please be aware this light kit is an "add-on" and that the original model parts will need to be marked out and drilled with a 3mm drill in order to install this light kit.

Cockpit Detail:
x1 Colour changing red/green/blue 1mm fibre optic LED with five strands, each fibre a minimum of 100mm long from light source.
x1  3mm Warm White LED.

Underside Detail:
x13  3mm Warm White LEDs
x8  3mm Red LEDs.
x3  3mm Cool White LEDs.

Ramp
x1  3mm Warm White LED.

Front Lights
x2  3mm Cool White LEDs.

Booster
x1  x12 SMD LED Strip - Neon Blue - 20cm Long.

The LED strip works very well with the blue plastic booster strip part supplied as standard with the Revell Easy Kit. Fitting the self adhesive LED strip just inside this part on the grey curved section, and using the standard blue plastic booster part eliminates the hassle of having to use other methods to diffuse the light, eg plastic corrugate.
It is also a lot more effective than the common six LED solution, as it provides more even light across the whole area.

The light kit is fitted with screw terminal blocks, making it easier to take apart if required.

Each LED has 180mm wire that runs to one of five terminal connectors, which in turn is connected to the main stem wire by a further 100mm length of wire each. Please see the photos for better understanding.

A further 1 metre power wire lead is included from this point to the transformer barrel connector.


Pack includes:

x1 LED prewired light kit as detailed above.

x1  CE marked 9V 2A sealed transformer unit suitable for UK mains supply.

As with all of our light kits due to the nature of the product, this item is suitable for adult use only (ages 18 years plus).

The transformer is a sealed low voltage type, and cannot be modified. Set suitable for use with transformer supplied only.

Item suitable for use in an indoor / dry environment only.
