LEDs By The Dozen
Light emitting diodes. Solid state devices that provide the ubiquitous power and indicator lights on your electronic gadgetry. Unlike lamps, there are no filaments that glow. Rather, some two volts of DC power at a miniscule 10 to 20 milliamps of current get the chemistry excited, and they just plain emit. Emit is a good word, too, as they don't really cast light, but glow brightly. We have a nice assortment of 3 and 5 MM diameter sizes in red, green, orange, and yellow. The longer lead is always positive, the shorter always negative, and you always need a current limiting resistor (about 500 to 1,000 ohms for 5 to 9 volt DC sources) to keep the current in the 10-20 MA range. If that's Greek to you you're either going to blow a lot of LED's or learn to change incandescent indicator lamps ! !

Shrink-To-Fit
The big stuff: translucent white heat shrink tubing at 3/4" dia. Like most heat shrink, this one shrinks to half its size when heated. You get (2) 4-foot pieces, for a total of (8) feet, and it will be bent for shipping, but that won't hurt it. The internationally renowned heat-shrinking department here at the home office suggests using a heat gun, not a disposable lighter, for shrinking this stuff.

Accent Lighting
So that your wheat can see where it's growing. OK, they're really for all those teeny-light needs: dollhouses, models, robots, train sets, like that. This set was made to be a repair kit for Aura Grain of Wheat rope lights, and you can still use it for that, but you'll get an 18" length of 3/8" dia clear or colored rope with (18) white lights inside, plus (2) 1-3/4" pieces of clear shrink-wrap tube, and (2) 2-pin splice connectors. The 18" length operates at 120VAC & draws approx. 9 watts. Use it as is or slice the tube and remove the 6 volt GOW lights. Need to fancy up your train layout? Add tee connectors, and go to it!

Or tongue of fire, anyway, unless you buy two.

Draws15W at 120VAC and stands in a 6" x 7-5/8" x 3" tall black oval base with a power switch and 6-foot cord. UL/CSA.

Safely Caged
Cage the wild light bulb in order to protect it from its natural enemy, Vandalus urbanosa. Unlike the domestic indoor bulb which can be protected with a silk or paper shade, this more-endangered bulb is found outdoors or in rugged industrial habitats. Our yellow-plastic cage is available for bulbs of 100 watts or less. (Bulb should not touch plastic.) This cage is 6–1/2” long x 5” dia at its widest point. One side has a release latch for access to the bulb. They fit over a medium-base socket to protect the lamp in it. Hardware included.

Palm-Sized Disco
The tiny unit, 3-3/4" x 2" x 2-5/8" OA, projects a bunch of scintillating red laser patterns on some otherwise dull surface, like your wall. It has controls for patterns and direction, plus manual or automatic operation, a demo mode, wrist strap, and a fold-down easel so you can set it up and boogie along instead of holding it for your friends. Runs on (3) "AAA"s, included.

Moving Sky-Show Extraordinaire
This staggeringly vivid night-sky projector features green, laser-beamed moving stars and cloud cover and, according to Paul (our in-house astro-galactic display maven), "adjustable-intensity nebula." If that means you can lie supine and happily stare at it for a few hours, we agree, particularly if you cue up the Dark Side of the Moon album at the same time. Or skip the Pink Floyd, and use it to lull the children to sleep. Not an astronomically accurate sky, of course, but you're definitely not going to care. The unit is approx 11" tall on a 9-1/2" x 8-3/8" oval base and plugs in via a wall adapter. The manufacturer suggests a maximum 4-hour duty cycle, white or light walls and a very dark room. Has mounting slots on the base.
