2 pack FEC1
Flicker Effects Control
For
LED Lighting
flame / fire simulation
The FEC1 LED Lighting Flicker Effects Control (FEC) has 6 dynamic effects modes and one static dimming mode. The FEC is intended for simulation of flame and ember sources such as candles, lanterns, oil lamps, fires, coals and wood embers. Each of the 6 modes is distinguished by the average light level, the maximum depth of the flicker trough, and a different flicker pattern. All dynamic modes have 10 speed steps. (step #1 fast – flame flicker) to (step #10 slow – ember glow ).
Modes are: 1 flicker med – low 2 flicker med – hi 3 flicker – low 4 flicker – hi 5 surge fade - med 6 surge fade – hi 7 static dimming
For more dynamic or a faster flicker appearance multiple FECs, in different modes and (or) speeds may be used with multiple LED light sources. For burning coal and ember glow simulation the slower speeds (6-10) of the FEC may be used in any of the modes.
The FEC is for use with LED light sources only. The FEC operates from 5 to 24 volts DC and a maximum of 1.5 amp at 5-12 volts and 0.75 amp 24 volts, 18 watts maximum. The FEC retains the last setting when turned off or disconnected. The FEC1 controls (switches) the negative (-V) power, the positive (+V) passes though the unit. The idle current when off is 2-3ma typ. Power connection is via DC barrel connectors 2.1mm X 5.5mm, with 5.5” cable length.
The FEC has 3 tactile buttons:
1) Mode: (6 total dynamic, one static)
2) Speed - On/Off: (10 speed steps, and 12 steps of dimming, 3 second hold for On/Off)
3) Light: used to change to static dimming mode only (10%-95% dimming range 12 steps via the Speed- On/Off button)
The FEC is for use with LED lighting only such as 12 volt DC red, orange, and amber / yellow lights for fire effects appearance.
Applications:
• Themed entertainment and dark rides
• Theatrical and decor candles and torches
• Vintage lantern and oil lamp replicas
• Faux fireplaces and glowing coal and embers
• Props and stage scenery fire simulation
