Street Lights

$10.00

Five Street lights. Common North American-style street lights used in many communities. Fit popular modeling eras 1890s to present as they are now they are back in historic districts but made from metals. The standard globe was found all over the country. The fancy globe was measured from an actual top from Elmhurst, IL.

Choice of globes, standard or fancy. Comes with five poles, five globes, five LEDs and five 9V to 14V resistors to a package.

See below for instructions.

  • Many of our parts come with supports still attached, and will need to be carefully cut. We always recommend a good sprue cutter for this. Some minor sanding may be required. Parts that have had their supports removed may have some small bumps where the supports were removed that will need to be sanded/filed off for a better fit.ACC glue works well for all our resin parts. Parts take paint well after priming. We recommend Mr. Primer Surfacer 1000, but any good thin primer will work. All parts come unpainted.

Street Lights Wiring Instructions

 

Practice says to wire the resistor to the anode of the LED however, in this application it does not matter if it’s wired to the anode or cathode.

Our LEDs have color coded wires. The gold lead is the Anode or positive while the silver is the Cathode or negative lead. The supplied resistor is 560 ohm which will allow for 9 volts to 14 volts safely. If you decide that it too bright, you can substitute a higher value such as 1000 ohm.

Run the wires down through the top of the lamp post and solder on the resistor. Now you can power the LED and decide on the mounting. You can glue the LED to the top of the post or have it stick out a bit so that it will go into the globe.

We like to use Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue or ZAP Formula 560 Canopy Glue. Of course, ACC will work if you are careful.
