James H Posted April 4, 2022 #1 Posted April 4, 2022 LED Lighting Set Artesania Latina Catalogue # 27590 Available from Artesania Latina for €20.65 If you have a hankering for fitting out your model with LEDs, then this set contains just what you need. AL's site states this: Quote The set includes 10 candle-effect LED, 4 continuous lighting LED, a battery holder for two AAA batteries and another for a button cell, a switch, 8 meters of red and black wire, half a meter of heat-shrinkable sleeve and one meter of tin. Can be used in other DIY and craft projects too! All LED lights are yellow, 3 mm long and operate at 3 volts. Feel free to light up your models or other projects with this fantastic LED special effects set! The LEDs are quite small, but not the so-called 'grain of rice' ones commonly seen. You also get a very generous amount of wire on both black and red, and more solder than you will ever need to wire up a large model. Two power sources are included. One of these is a regular battery pack, seen here with a separate switch and a nice quantity of heat shrink sleeve. A coin battery pack is seen here with a built-in switch. This is actually shown for use in their HMS Endeavour kit, hidden in the stand to illuminate the hollow name box area. A nice touch. New AL kits also contain holes for the wires to run, and installation is shown in the manuals. A generous amount of solder is also included. This is tin solder due to the problems that now exist with regulations in obtaining lead solder (which I preferred). Strangely enough, no instructions are supplied with this, so I'm unsure whether the LEDs need a ballast resistor fitting to them. My thanks to Artesania Latina for the sample shown here.
