Circuitron 5842 - AW-2 Arc Welder Circuit

The CIRCUITRON Arc Welder Circuits utilize 2 lamps, one yellow and one blue, along with a circuit that provides a random flickering effect of the lamps. The result is a very convincing representation of an arc welder in operation. 

The AW-1 includes 1.4 mm diameter micro-bulbs and is designed for direct viewing in all scales. A small wisp of cotton placed over the lamps will serve to diffuse the light and produce a very realistic smoke effect. The AW-2 includes 2.4 mm diameter lamps and should be used to illuminate a window from within a structure. If the window is frosted to represent years of grime, the flickering effect is extremely realistic. Either circuit may be used with only the yellow lamp if only a flickering flame effect is desired (however, our FIRELITES™ circuits are more suitable for this task).

The AW-1 can only power the lamps supplied with it, but the AW2 can power up to a total of 20 lamps for large structures or use in multiple buildings. Clear lamps are also available from CIRCUITRON in our MITEY LITES line which may be dyed to any color for other applications (amber, orange and yellow make a very convincing campfire but, again, the FIRELITES™ circuits may be more suitable). Order number 7416 lamps for the AW-1 and number 9341 for the AW-2. Replacement blue and yellow lamp sets are also available. 

The AW-1 and AW-2 are constructed on 2" x 3" printed circuit boards and require a 10-18 volt AC or DC input for proper operation.
