    Re: Is Extreme Creatures Good? FOS stuff —Jon T. Kirkpatrick
   Has anyone cracked opened one of the FOS units? What is the light source? I assume that there is only one light source that is somehow distributed by the rotary action. If the source is an LED, has anyone attempted to change the color? kirk "Sean (...) (24 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

   (...) The Light source is a LED. A super Bright one to be exact. Mounted on an arm that spins around the block. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

        Re: Is Extreme Creatures Good? FOS stuff —Dean Husby
   (...) If you don't use a tiny ultra bright one you won't get much... Also, the circuit it the thing is already making sure the power flows to the LED one way. So you'd have to disable that as well if you want the multicolour LED's. My favs are the (...)

    (...) Ahh, to bad. I wonder if there are any other colors in "ultra bright"? (...) you'd (...) Actually I think there are LED's with only two legs with the "two-color" feature. I'll have to investigate this and come back to you. /Joakim (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

     (...) Yes. Radio Schlock has a few: orange, definitely (but I think it's one of the 10mm "jumbos", so it wouldn't fit). And I'm pretty sure they have green in smaller sizes. BG Micro (www.bgmicro.com) has some real stunners, that have just hit the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.market.shopping)
   
        Re: Is Extreme Creatures Good? FOS stuff —Dean Husby
     (...) Yes. Of course. Those are the best ones. LED's are basically just Diodes that make light. So you can "Twist" two LED's together to get one on each polarity. Like I was saying above, my favorites are the tri-coloured LEDs... Dean -- Coin-Op's (...)

        Re: Is Extreme Creatures Good? FOS stuff —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) Speaking of FOS blocks, is there demand for these at all? I have about 15 (inside UFO sets) that I am either going to design into a Milton Train Works set (theatre marquee perhaps?), or dump. If there was demand I'd dump them now, I have too (...)
