beeman Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Anyone recently purchased the flickering tealights that have the 3mm led's in them. they were this size a while back from Poundland but most now seem to be 5 mm, so more space needed. Tried Poundland yesterday to find current stock is 5mm. Anyone purchased from Ebay, many available, have asked sellers but no suitable replies. anyone help odd that non of the Led sellers list either. Beeman.

-missy- Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hello. Would it be possible to buy some 3mm LEDs seperately and change them yourself? Missy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeman Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 To clarify,The 3mm led's were taken out of the tea lights and used to simulate a flickering firebox in OO locos. the later 5mm require MORE space so not as easy to fit in the restricted space usually available. And as said they do not seem available to buy on their own. Beeman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeman Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ironically was advised as to where I could purchase actual LED's from as against stripping down the flickering tea lights, Turned out to be same supplier. 'ZINGE INDUSTRIES' received and ok brighter than the original 3mm tealights, suitable resistor will reduce if needed. Thanks Beeman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
