Ship model with LEDs
Hello Shelly
I do thank you very much for your input. I am using one of your power transformers that came with the mail plug and also the female receptacle that has been installed in the ship for many months now. It is very possible that the that I damaged the receiver sensor when I initially wired up the LEDs, this I do not know.
After digging out my original remote control and loading the battery the Led's did work ok. This AM I tried it again and the second remote that I have been using all along still would not work from any distance at all. I did discover though that the second remote would turn the Led's on or off from 15' or more but it seems that the placement of the sensor is a bit of my problem.
To replace the receiver sensor would be a big job as I would have to tear a hole in the side of my ship to be able to access the wiring, this I do not want to do unless the sensor fails altogether, and I do have a spare that came with my second remote so that is not a problem. For the time being, I believe that I will live with this and may try to place the sensor in a better position that would be difficult for sure but doable.
Still can not figure out why the second remote failed altogether when it worked so well a couple of months ago.
I am attaching a couple of pictures that I took this AM with the Led's lit, both pictures were taken a few minutes apart, the darker on with the camera set to A and the lighter with a time exposure, the Led'd sure do enhance the ship and also make a nice night light. ENJOY.
