BF-2 Basic Flasher for Lamps

BF-2 Basic Flasher for Lamps

Details:

The Circuitron BF-2 Universal Flasher Circuit is a versatile and economical lighting controller designed to create realistic flashing effects across a wide range of model railway applications. Suitable for use with both incandescent lamps and LEDs, the BF-2 offers exceptional flexibility for modellers looking to add warning beacons, signal lights, crossing flashers, emergency vehicle lighting and other animated lighting effects to their layouts.

Unlike basic flasher circuits, the BF-2 can control virtually any lamp or LED load with a total current draw of up to 250mA. It can be powered from either AC or DC supplies ranging from 8V to 18V, making it compatible with most model railway accessory power systems. The output load can even be powered from a separate voltage source, allowing multiple lighting types and voltages to be controlled from a single flasher module.

This unique capability makes the BF-2 ideal for complex installations where different lamps require different operating voltages. Multiple lighting circuits can be connected to a single BF-2 provided the power supply grounds are connected together, offering a flexible solution for custom lighting projects and advanced scenic effects.

The BF-2 does not include lamps or LEDs, giving modellers complete freedom to choose the lighting components best suited to their project. Whether used for locomotive lighting, level crossings, maintenance vehicles, structures or scenic details, the BF-2 provides reliable flashing operation and exceptional installation flexibility.
