4. Installation of the Lighting System
Safety Notice:
Never look directly into the switched on LEDs. Because of their intense
brightness they may damage your eyes.
Safety Notice:
Do not touch the switched on LEDs. Because of their high temperature
there is a risk of injury.
4.1 Light requirement and Positioning
NOTE: Both the illumination requirement and positioning of the lighting sticks greatly
depend on the design of the layout and its presentation.
For optimal lighting of a layout of a depth of up to
1.5m per running metre, one lighting unit is needed.
Therefore a layout with an edge length of 1m can be
illuminated with an IntelliLight LED Starter set (a
main lighting stick, 2 white lighting sticks). In order to
arrange the lighting effect correctly with sunrise
(morning red) and sunset (evening red), as well as
the night effect, two white and one coloured unit are
required.
Depending on desired light intensity, the lighting
sticks should be attached at 45° angle (approx) at
a min. distance of 80cm above the layout surface.
The lighting sticks should be fitted to the
front
edge of the layout to light up the scene.
It has proven useful to fasten the lighting sticks to a common base board. This board
is then hung at
an appropriate height from the room ceilin
g with chains. The length of
the chains can be adjusted to provide the desired lighting effect on the layout surface.
4.2 Mounting the Lighting Sticks
Each lighting stick has two 3.3mm mounting holes for screwing the lighting sticks to a
suitable base (e.g. wood strip).
Mount the main lighting stick.
If you use additional white lighting sticks, insert the 3-way plug from one of the white
lighting sticks into the 3-way socket of the main lighting stick. Then screw the white
lighting stick to the base.
Up to 4 white lighting sticks can be supplied from one main lighting stick. The white
lighting sticks can be attached either to the right or the left of the main lighting sticks.
If needed, an additional main lighting stick can be placed at any location and white
lighting sticks can be connected to that as required.
