Product Details
✓Built-in candle flicker for realistic flame effect - 10 Yellow flickering LEDs with built-in candle-flame circuit that produce realistic flame effect for Halloween jack-o-lanterns, model train fireboxes, and haunted house props — operates with integrated flicker circuit on standard DC power
✓Realistic flame flicker at 590-595nm amber-yellow - Discrete LED component (single light-emitting diode with bare leads); not a finished flameless tea light or wax candle product. Built-in flicker IC drives randomized flame-mimicking output at 8,000-10,000 mcd through a clear lens, 1.9-2.1V forward voltage, 20mA drive current, 20-30 degree narrow viewing angle for directional candle-tip glow.
✓Standard 5mm radial through-hole package - Two-lead DIP form factor on standard 2.54mm pitch fits breadboards, perfboard, and hand-wired prop circuits. Clear epoxy lens concentrates the flicker output into a focused flame-shaped beam. Anode and cathode leads accept soldering, screw terminals, or wire-nut splices for diorama and prop wiring.
✓Polarity and resistor reference - Through-hole LEDs are polarity-sensitive: longer lead is anode (+), shorter lead is cathode (-). For 20mA drive current with a 1.8-2.2V LED, use a series resistor of 150Ω 1/4W on 5V, 360Ω 1/4W on 9V, 510Ω 1/4W on 12V, or 680Ω 1/2W on 15V. Built-in animation IC requires steady regulated DC - NOT compatible with DCC track power, AC, or pulsing supplies; these power sources cause erratic flicker timing or IC damage.
✓Hobby and prop applications - Yellow flicker at 590-595nm and 8,000-10,000 mcd suits Halloween jack-o-lantern eye and mouth glow, theater torch and sconce props, Schwibbogen arch candle replacement, scale-model campfire and firebox effects, haunted house votive simulation, and fireplace dioramas where a warm amber flame flicker is wanted without open flame.
