Novalyte Flicker Module

The Novalyte flicker module is for use with 12-volt dollhouse wiring either AC or DC and will provide a random flicker to your lights (traditional or LED) and fireplace "flames."

Looking at the Novalyte flicker module you can see that that it is a circuit board with devices on it. The ones you will be using are the green connectors and the blue timing device. There are other things on the board, which you will not need to be concerned with to make your module work. The row of four green connectors is where the wires from the lights themselves go. Each of the connectors has a pair of "windows" on the side, which is closed by the screws above them. The wires from the light are inserted there after having been stripped of insulation and are clamped down by screwing the screw clockwise. It does not matter which wire from your light goes in which side of the connector. Each connector can hold more than one pair. The fifth connector is where the power wire goes. Again, it does not matter which wire is in which side.

The blue device controls the amount of flicker from raging if the wheel is all the way to the left to shimmer all the way to the right. The change in the rate is achieved with the use of a small screwdriver.

All devises connected to the module flicker at the same rate, but because the flicker is random they do not flicker in unison. It's like a choir at the same intensity level while each individual voice may be singing different notes and rhythm.

Before you install the module you will need to decide where you want to hide it. Unless you remove or add a light or fireplace fixture you will not need access to the module. The module does require some space around it for heat dissipation.
