Three Pack FK110 3 LED Chaser. Each LED goes off in turn to create aflowing effect. Experiment with different component values to change the flash rate. Scale up the LED count to make flashing signs. PCB Dimensions 40.5x33.5mm - Powered from 6-9VDC Price $10.47 for three kits inc GST plus P&P - That's still under 3.50 a kit!
Twin Pack FK112 10 LED Flasher Circular. Twp lots of 5 LEDs (green and red) are arranged in a circular pattern. Each alternate LED group lights up in turn. The flash rate may be varied by adjustiing the on-board trimmer potentiometer. Scale up the LED sizes for bigger displays. 9V operation. Price for the twinpack including GST is $11.12 Plus P & P. That's only $5.56 a kit.
FK11510 LED Running Light - Linear. Each LED lights in sequence with a variable flash rate. With a simple modification it can be configured to run in 3, 4, 5 up to 10 LEDs in a sequence. Adding a few diodes can make the FK115 into single LED or multi LED flashers. Add our multi-channel power driver boards or solid state relays and you can power giant displays using high powered LEDs or incandescent lamps.
Here are just a few of the effects and functions that can be obtained from the FK115:
10 LED, Chaser, 5 LED two way Knight Rider, Count to "n" and repeat, Cascade, flowing stream, count to "n" and halt, waves, lightning flash, random sparkle, counting and dividing.
So far we have counted:
14 different functions,
8 different visual effects,
11 Model Maker's projects plus
22 practical projects.
It is hard to imagine a more versatile kit than the easy-to-build FK115
PCB Dimensions 68x38mm - Powered from 6-12VDC Price $9.15 inc GST plus P&P
Do you want very long sequences of "Running Lights" of "Chasers"? This module is designed to work with our FK115, to permit a cascade up to almost any number of LED's.
For those with Electronics design and assembly experience, you can simply purchase this module and start building your own very long system of running LED's.
For those who would like some assistance, we offer our "Long Running LED Chaser System" (See the item on this page). The System Instruction Guide gives full step-by-step instructions and photos of how to modify the FK115 Kits.
This system kit is designed to permit very long runs of LED "Chasers". (These are also sometimes known as "Running Lights").
This system kit is designed to allow use of inexpensive, easy to assemble Existing Kits which can be "Cascaded". IT comes with a very detailed "How To" Instruction guide , explaining how the cascading can be expanded out to almost any number of LED's.
Included with this system kit are: 5 x FK115 10 LED Running Light standard kits, 1 x KSK115 Cascading Interface Module and a very detailed step-by-step set of notes and photographs of how to modify the Standard FK115 so that it can cascade out to more LED's.

FK118 16 LED Rotating (Chasing) Light LEDs light sequentially, simulating rotation. Variable flash rate. The same circuit may be adapted to high brightness LEDs may directed horizontally to create warning signs or to simulate a "lighthouse" effect. PCB Dimensions 74.5x53mm - Powered from 9-12VDC Price $12.22 inc GST plus P&P
FK144 6 Programme 4 Channel LED Chaser Controller PRICE BREAKTHOUGH!!
This versatile unit offers the following: Sequence 1. Turn each channel on sequentially from Channel 1 to 4 and sequential OFF back to the first Channel. Sequence 2. Turns Channels 1 to 4 OFF sequentially when all channels are normally ON. Sequence 3. Flashes each channel ON in sequence 1, 3, 2 and 4. Sequence 4. Channels 1 to 4 turned ON in sequence then back down to Channel 1 in reverse order. Sequence 5. Channels 1 to 4 OFF in turn and then ON again in reverse order. Sequence 6 Lights flash from 1 to 4 and back to 1. each Channel capable of switching 25Watts (100Watts Maximum) PCB size.87.5x68mm Power 12VDC Price $23.47 inc GST plus P&P
FK149 LED ARROW Chaser Suitable as an Emergency Sign, Exit, Entrance signs, POS indicators, danger points and emergency equipment locators. Automobile and trailer turning indicators. Optional colours and larger formats may be ordered. PCB Dimensions 72x54mm Power 9-12VDC 70mA. Price $9.38 inc GST plus P&P
FK170 DANGER! LED Triangle A triangle of high brighteness LEDs sets off a large "!" to warn of dangerous situations such as liquid spills, gas leaks and other hazardous situations in public places. Could be mounted on tip of signs or bollards to add emphasis to the hazard warning. PCB Dimensions 90x90mm Power 9VDC Price $14.07 inc GST plus P&P
The FK 181 Sound Level Meter kit is similar to a VU in concept. Normally supplied with 10 red LEDs, users may subsitute LEDs of different colours to suit their own applications. The FK181 normally takes its sound signal from a supplied electret microphone but the same circuit may be used with DC sources by by-passing the input capacitor.
MXA055 4 Channel 4000W Running Light Driver 32 Fixed Programmes plus 10 User Dedined Sequences) Developed for driving 240VAC incandecent lamps, this unit can also be used to drive 24VAC circuits making it interfaceable with LEDs. PCB Dimensions 67x108 mm Control Circuit Power 24VDC 60mA Price $49.39 inc GST plus P&P
FK182 AVR LED CHASING LIGHT 12 LED 16 PROGRAM
The FK182 demonstrates how, by utilizing an AVR microcontroller many more functions can be incorporated into a device without increasing the circuit complexity. In this case, the FK182 offers 16 different LED chasing and flashing sequences which can be selected individually or cycle through the whole 16 and repeat. The FK182 will find application in festive decorations, party and dance lighting and advertising.
