For someone who is new into the modeling hobby this saved my neck! no joke i know i would of screwed up led strips cuz i'm not tech savy or know how to solder ... so ever since i've been trying to find the smallest l.e.d's even a noob could use easily
Same here, I work with 1:285th(6mm) and i make Wargaming tables and Dioramas, For the longest time i have wanted to make lighting effects like Headlights and Cannon fire but haven't had any luck learning how to solder.
Thanks to your video I found the solution to a project lighting problem - the pico light! Just bought some to try.
Awesome! We hope this will be a great solution for you!
Howdy, so glad I came across your website. I love mini's and now I can light them up a lot easier and as desired. Cannot wait to try. Thanks.
That's great to hear. We're happy to help!
You are the best. Was looking for this
Well, thank you very much! We are happy to help.
A wonderful company
aw, thanks so much :)
Excellent instructions. Thx A+++++
Thank you so much! We are glad you like the instructions!
Thank you so much for showing step by step and speaking in English terminology. I have been trying to find out about these lights for 3years. I would like to ultimately find out if these tiny but single lights could be done with a solar chip for outside. Could you imagine these tiny lights dotted here and there outside 😊
Thank you for your kind words! I am happy to hear you liked our video! Solar power typically charges a battery, then the lights run from the battery. If you can find a solar + battery combo we have lights to match it. One thing though, LEDs don't really like water so you would need to shield them from moisture to have them run long outdoors
I have been watching some amazing videos on miniature lighting and look forward to decorating the tiny leds with protective covers.
There are no courses that would teach how to connect a tiny solar chip to the battery system. Also, I have to do research on what wiring and which resistors to use for various batteries. One thing I know for sure is that when I figure it out, I will certainly be purchasing from your online store. There's a very limited choice for buying electronic supplies for hobbyists in New Zealand.
Great Demonstration . I would actually solder the leads before using the shirk tube . Your LED's are now super small and I have used them on my builds with a resistor 1k. 1/4watt.
hi! Thank you for your comment. Yes solder is great for connections. The nice thing about this kit, you don't need to solder if you don't happen to have a solder iron and you still want to light a little project. 1k resistor is good for 18 or 20 volt input yes. Is the power is AC? You would also need a single rectifier to convert AC to DC. We have 7-19 volt LEDs here: evandesigns.com/products/chip-nano-pico-leds?variant=32158370201648
And separated (resistor/rectifer separte from the LED) 7-19 volt LEDS here: evandesigns.com/products/separated-7-19-v-ac-led?variant=30363467251760
Do you deliver your wonderful LED lights to Australia by any chance? I would love to buy some of them. I just bought a couple of miniature lamps from Temu and they both have 1 red wire and 1 green wire, but the wires don't go anywhere, so I didn't know how to use the lamps, even though Temu advertised them as being proper working lights. After watching your video it seems that I just need one of the kits that you sell to attach my lamps to. Love from Amanda Jones in Melbourne, Australia
Is there a way to hard wire these lights to a power supply?
Yes absolutely. We sell a 3 volt adapter here: evandesigns.com/collections/wire-switch-more/products/3-volt-adapter-transformer that can run from 1 to 50 LEDs. You would want to get the 3 volt LEDs to go with it. They are here: evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/chip-nano-pico-leds?variant=32155327889456
we have lots of things on our website, evandesigns.com/ and even better we can help to guide you so you get the right stuff
These are amazing and a total life saver! Will the pico lights be good for lighting up the inside of a model? Need something small and hidden was hoping a 3 piece set would light up an 8" x 4" inch area well enough to see the inside of vehicle.
Hi Tallon! Thank you for your kind words! The pico is the smallest light. For your scale I think you would be better with the bigger Chip size. 8 x 4 is a fairly large area. Try the 3-Chip option: evandesigns.com/products/chip-light-kit?variant=6762997579824
you can always go down to 2 of them and keep one back for another project!
@@EvanDesigns Will do! Thank you very much!
Does it work for the model trains with that kit.
Hi. Yes you can use this to put lights in your model train, the coin cell is pretty small, about the size of a nickle so if you can fit it into your boxcar you are all set. We also have lights made for Model Trains that can operate from 7-19 volt of AC or DC or DCC. If you can pickup track power you can run the lights with no battery needed. Those lights are on this page of our website: evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/chip-nano-pico-leds?variant=32155339817008 select that 7-19 volt option
Question: do I need to wrap any wires up? I plan on ordering the two light kit and it's for a paper mache skull. Also, the lights need to be green; is there a way I can switch out the light color? I know these are probably dumb questions, I'm sorry, I'm just a complete noob to this, a perfectionist, and I don't want to screw anything up or put anything in risk of catastrophy.
Hi ! Thank you for getting in touch. I am not sure what you mean by wrap the wires up? You will be twisting the LED to the wires on the battery holder, we provide shrink tube you will add to solidify those connections and make sure the twisted parts do not touch each other. Yes you can get the chip light kit with green LEDs, just order from this page evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/chip-light-kit and mention in instructions for seller you want green for the LEDs. OR you can order the parts of the kit by themselves. The LED here evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/chip-nano-pico-leds and the coin cell and holder here:
evandesigns.com/collections/wire-switch-more/products/3v-coin-cell-holder-with-switch
@@EvanDesigns I mean if I have to wrap the wires that come off the LED before the join with electral tape. And also is it okay if those wires are trimmed down? Are the "breathing" green lights available in the two light kit?
My project is for a necromancer staff, the lights will be the glowing eyes in the skull if that helps give a better idea what I need and am trying to do and not go entirely broke lol. I'm terrible at explaining things I need when I have zero clue what I'm doing.
@@roseabee7503 you do not need to wrap the wires with electrical tape. The wires have a tough coating of paint plus polymer so they do not need any wrap. Yes you can cut the wires, but you will need to strip the wire after you cut it. This video shows that: ruclips.net/video/u8OSUs7mYQs/видео.html
You can get the breathing LEDs separately: evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/breathing-led?variant=29261033996336 there is a video on that page to check out the breathing effect ruclips.net/video/eOqlEYbL1zE/видео.html I would think though, you might want to have the 2 eyes pulse together. We can custom make you synchronous breathing at this link: evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/sync-leds?variant=29369321062448
At $6 for the lights and $3.75 for the coin cell, I don't think you'll go broke! lol Again the coin cell holder is here: evandesigns.com/collections/wire-switch-more/products/3v-coin-cell-holder-with-switch?variant=6773798928432
@@EvanDesigns can you explain voltage and size to me? I was interested in the, I think Z sized one that was smaller than Pico (And I am aware that th Z is not on the flashing/breathing link you provided), but how bright is it for the size? Again, I'm sorry for the dumb questions.
@@roseabee7503 Oh! the Z is so tiny! it is 0.6mm, honestly hard to see with the naked eye. I wouldn't think you would need to go that small for a paper mache mask! LED sizes, there is a picture of all of them on this page: evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds see the Z? it is so small! I would think Chip would be about right. Chip is 3.2mm or 1/8th of an inch across. Voltage, we have this article that goes over ways you can choose to light an LED: evandesigns.com/pages/battery-operated-leds basically you will want a battery that fits easily into your project, like a coin cell but you might want to have the batteries run a long time, so then AAA might also fit. It's up to you which battery you prefer really, we have LEDs for all different voltages
Dus that come in lot of colors?
hi Andy thank you for your interest! The chip light kit has warm white and cool white as choices. If you would like any of the other SEVEN colors we offer, you can head over to this page of our site to get a different color: evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/chip-nano-pico-leds?variant=32155327889456
then this page has the coin cell holder with on off switch plus the little battery right here: evandesigns.com/collections/wire-switch-more/products/3v-coin-cell-holder-with-switch?variant=6773798928432 of course if you have further questions you can call or email our helpful staff too!
is there any way to make an electric adapter for these?
Yes, we have a plug in adapter that can run our tiny Chip lights instead of a battery, it is here: evandesigns.com/products/3-volt-adapter-transformer and we also have a USB connector you might like to consider as well: evandesigns.com/products/usb-type-a-power-supply-cable?variant=32345398345776
Oh goody!!!
Thanks😊
I would like to buy this kit, but I need a super bright Red led on the end, it’s for a trick, I want to catch a bright red light in a child’s pond fishing net, I live in uk,
Hi Keith thank you for your interest in our Kit! We have lots of super bright lights, I would suggest our red mega found here: evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/mega-led?variant=6774107308080 and for power, a AA or AAA battery pair would run the light even brighter than our little coin cell. The AA holder with switch is here: evandesigns.com/collections/wire-switch-more/products/aa-holder-with-switch. If this is going underwater, you will need to shield the light and the connections from water with silicone glue. We do ship to UK from our shop in the USA. Shipping is $13.99 for any quantity of items. Let us know if you need more help, you can contact us directly here: evandesigns.com/pages/contact-us
Can multiple lights be attached to the same switch? Im thinking of making a Wargaming table with these, And im wondering if i can possibly mount upwards of 2+ lights to the same battery.
Hi That sound great! You can add 10 lights to the little cr2032 coin cell and they will run nice and brightly. You can mix sizes of lights and colors too. We don't recommend running solid and flashing on these small batteries because your solids might flicker a little. To solve this use 2 coin cells or go to a bigger battery like AAA pair.
Perfect, Thank you!
Do you have any other colors like red?
Yes. You can select any color
@@EvanDesigns can the lights blink or strobe for RC plane?
@@autopilotmoneymachine4400 Hi ! Yes we have fast flash, normal flash slow flash. They are on our website. We have lights that can work with your RC battery or we have lights that can run on a coin cell. We have super bright mega flash that you can see from far away. Some LED pages:

let me know if you need another type of flasher we have loads of them!
@@EvanDesigns wow very impressive response! Thank you, I sent support email for what I am needing.
this IS exactly what I'm after lol
Do you think this would work for lights in a 1/64 tractor?
1/64 scale I mean
Do you haves this kit with flash lights?
Hi Cynden thank you for your interst in our little chip light kit. We do have small flashing lights here: evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/flashing-smd-chip-leds?variant=6807545610288 and the same coin cell holder here: evandesigns.com/collections/wire-switch-more/products/3v-coin-cell-holder-with-switch?variant=6773798928432 so you can put a few flasing lights together with the coin cell by getting those 2 products. The coin cell can run up to 10 lights nice and brightly.
do you have any yellow light or orange? like old street lamp orange? lol
Hi Norman I am glad you like our little kit. evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/chip-light-kit you can go ahead and order the kit and in the order notes in your cart you can mention you would like the light color to be yellow. You can see the colors we offer on our page here: evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds you may find that the warm white with just a touch of thinned yellow paint will give the effect you are after without going all the way to yellow. LEDs can be painted without any harm to the LED or the paint. But the color chart should help you decide.

Why aren't the wires all attached and you just add the battery?
Hi Jennifer thank you for your interest! We find it easier to put the light in place first and then Hook up the battery. You can get the light where you want it without a battery dangling from it. It is quite easy to attach the battery holder to the light as you see in the video after you have the light in place. Of course we are happy to pre-attach everything if you mention in instructions for seller at checkout!
do the leds get hot at all? i want to run them close to my skin in a costume
Hello and thank you for your interest. You will be happy to know the LEDs in these kits never get hot! So you are safe to use them in your costume. You can get the chip light kit here: evandesigns.com/products/chip-light-kit and if you need other colors, you can just mention that in order notes
