This is very informative and will help us repair a 23-year-old lighthouse!

Hi! Was looking for a video about replacing the light in a Hallmark lighthouse & found this one! My mom has a 2008 lighthouse (red tower with white & green house), & the house lights still work fine, but the lighthouse bulb itself is burned out. Could you possible make a video on how to disassemble the tower to replace the bulb only, or maybe an instruction version? Thank you for this one, I'll definitely keep it in mind should one of the house lights go out!

@Johnny_Electronic 29 күн бұрын

Hello, I just posted a new video that now includes information on disassembly. Each tower will be different so that section can be more troublesome as you will see in the video. Allot of the pieces are glued together so you have to be patient and look for the separation points and then some trial and error.

@VOODOOphg Ай бұрын

Thanks for the video but I think you buried part of the lead here. Most people (like me) are more than happy to replace with an incandescent bulb of the same size/style, but you never mention how you disassembled the light house (w/o breaking it). In addition, I think the incandescent bulb is just more authentic than an LED bulb, anyway.

@Johnny_Electronic Ай бұрын

Sure, people have their preferences. Just a note that neither bulb was bad however since I switched to LED light strings for our tree I need a lower power option so I could plug in to the strand and still have all the other lights working. I probably could have still made it work with the original bulb but then I'm in the other preference group anyway. Your comment did remind me that I made an updated video last year when I had to replace a bad capacitor in the circuit and I showed the disassembly part. I realized I never posted the video. Thanks for the reminder. I'll have the other video posted soon.

@VOODOOphg Ай бұрын

@ thanks for the follow up and look forward to the new video. As far as my Hallmark lighthouses - they run off their own cord and power source also provide by Hallmark. The lights on our tree are built into the prelit tree and are LED.

Great looking outcome. It looked like the candles all flickered in sync. Is there a small addition you could make so that they were not in sync? I really liked the outcome.

@Johnny_Electronic 2 ай бұрын

Hi There, yes you are correct. The flickering control is inside each LED. Since you commented on it I set up a test circuit and found that when the LED's are in series they will be synchronous with each other but if you run them parallel they will by asynchronous. Nice catch. I will change the circuit to use two or more parallel paths for a bit more randomness but it will require some extra resistors to drop down the 12v. Thanks for the comment.

Super cool! I've seen detailed electronics mods before, but you took the miniaturization and detail to a whole other level. My first concern was "With this complexity, how's he going to service anything?" but then you showed a few spots to make it accessible. I think this is probably my favorite conversions that I've seen. Keep up the great work and I've subscribed so I can hopefully see more.

@Johnny_Electronic 8 ай бұрын

Wow, thanks. I really appreciate that. I bought this kit a few years ago and started on the display right away as a proof of concept. I was really happy with the result but it was another year and half before I started the full build. This kit has some great options too bad it is out of production. I do try to add some uniqueness to the builds and I have a few more planned in the BSG world.

Hi Johnny, your quality, and level of detail is the greatest I have ever seen. I recently purchased a breadboard Arduino kit to try and learn the basics in order just to add a just a couple micro LEDs here and there. And I thought a couple LEDs and a couple resistors and a button battery and switch was going to be pretty special. After watching this video, IMHO, this very well could be the standard by which to go by. I went back to search through your old videos to see what else you have done. The millennium Falcon is also amazing. I only wish you had more of your model kit mods to look through. Please keep up the great work, and hopefully the googlehimer brain box algorithm will push your videos for more to see. Would you be willing to e-chat for questions etc re electronic circuits? Cheers, KJ

@Johnny_Electronic 9 ай бұрын

Thank you so much, glad you liked the video. It's getting allot of attention. I'm sure I'll have more videos coming but this one will be hard to top. I started it during the covid years getting the electrical sorted and board designs then when I finished the falcon I jumped right in on the model assembly. Feel free to reach out, I'm always happy to help and I certainly like talking electronics or model building.

Thanks for the complement. There is so much more that can be done now that was not possible in years past. Just having a wide range of LED sizes alone makes lighting more manageable.
