CL-1 Chase Light with Micro-Lamps

CL-1 Chase Light with Micro-Lamps

Details:

The CIRCUITRON CL-1 and CL-2 Chase Light Circuits are designed to create realistic animated lighting effects for rotating signage, marquee displays, and illuminated advertising boards in model railway layouts. They produce a smooth 10-step chase sequence in which a single lamp is illuminated at a time, creating the appearance of a light “moving” around a sign.

These circuits are ideal for station signage, industrial displays, fairground lighting, and any application where dynamic visual motion is required in a compact model environment.

The CL-1 includes 10 high-intensity 1.4 mm micro-lamps, making it well suited for direct viewing in HO scale and larger layouts. The CL-2 uses 2.4 mm lamps, suitable for larger scale installations or for use with fibre optic light distribution systems in smaller scales (fibre optics not included).

Both versions include a secondary synchronized output that flashes backlighting lamps in coordination with the chase sequence. This output is active during the first five steps of the sequence and off during the last five, producing a subtle pulsing background effect that enhances realism.

The CL-1 and CL-2 are designed for 10–18V AC or DC operation and are constructed on compact 3" x 3" printed circuit boards for easy integration into layout structures.
