- Translucent Color Balls w/ our exclusive NEW HELIO-TB High Output LED Lighting. Simply the best translucent trackballs available, with the exact size and weight of the original white balls, and internal diffusion for superior lighting. Note: Due to the high output of this type of LED-lighting, it is not compatible with low "constant current" type LED controllers. It does, however, work perfectly with our LED-Wiz™ controller for dynamic lighting effects and control.
Wiring the optional HELIO-TB™ RGB lighting module:
There are 4 wires connected to the lighting module. Each are color-coded with their function. If you own an LED-Wiz™, the color control lines would be connected to 3 outputs of your choosing. Otherwise, to hard wire a specific color, just attach the desired colors control lines to GROUND and connect the BLACK power line to a regulated +12VDC source. This color control lines can be connected to GROUND in any combination you desire to achieve one of 7 colors, or small resistors or potentiometers can be added in series to create any color desired. For full color and dynamic control, use 3 outputs on an LED-Wiz™. May be used with colored balls to achive a limited range of colors in full-RGB mode, or connected so as to illuminate with only the same color as the ball. Additional connections in the case of the latter can also tune the shade of the ball color.
