Green LED Lights - 3mm

Green LED Lights - 3mm

Green light-emitting diodes 3 mm in diameter from the range of Green Stuff World. They belong to a range of small light sources for modelers that covers several diameters and colors of light. They are not kits or accessories for a particular model: this is an electrical component that a modeler builds in wherever they need to have live light.

Where green light is useful

Green is the color of status and readiness. It is used on the indicator lights of instrument panels, on the indicators of switchboards and control rooms, on signal lights in factory and railroad scenes, or as the navigation light on the right wing of an aircraft. In science fiction and fantasy scenes green lights an energy core, laboratory vessels, cooling circuits or terminals. A diameter of 3 mm is a compromise between size and brightness that is comfortable to work with even in cramped places.

What to keep in mind when building it in

• Prepare the hole for the diode according to its diameter, that is 3 mm.
• Think the placement through before you close the scene up; once finished, the cavity is usually out of reach.
• Hide the wiring to the diode in the wall of a base or in the structure of a building, so that it does not spoil the view.
• Try the light out in the finished scene, because the same diode behaves differently in open space and differently behind frosted glass.

Who it is for

For builders of dioramas, gaming terrain and display-case scenes who want real light in a model and not just a painted highlight. It also suits models of vehicles with an interior, where a single lit indicator shifts the whole impression.

Settle the power supply and the way of wiring according to the manufacturer's data and the source used.
