Sorry, I cannot help you on that one as I have never seen them or heard of them until now.

I have Lon and I think they're kind of cool but would get annoying after a while. They're just an LED that has some type of small flasher within the wiring to let them change colors from like blue, green, red, purple and so fourth. I would post the site that sells them but I don't want to get in hot water!! Ha!! I could email you and you could check them out for yourself if you want!!

Boxcar,

Thank's drop me a note to Tech808@copperelectronics.com.

I have never heard of or seen them before.

Alway's willing to learn about New Product's for the Radio World.

Now for a REALLY good Question.

I see an Steam Engine / Coal Tender / Passenger car / Passenger car / Passenger car / Cabbose.

WHERE IS THE BOX CAR? hehehe

Boxcar,

Thank's got it.

WOW they are proud of those little thing's with that price.

And the Little fine print at the bottom of the ad most people will not notice.

Caution: These style lights are available from alternative sources, for other uses, but they have been known to put noise in your receive. Steps must be used in design and connections to eliminate this problem.

I noticed they're a little outrageous on the price too! As far as what you get, this shouldn't run over $5.00 or so but they mark it 75% after that! Oh well! Gotta make a profit!
