READ BEFORE ORDERING
THIS BUILD.
THE IMPORTANT DETAILS.
- 2 Dock housings need new Tether attachment locations. Check the stud footprint, housing clearance and access to both Belt sockets at each original board location before buying.
- This kit uses 2 FX Spectrum controller(s). Select the matching mode and connect only the intended fixtures to effect outputs. The original effect timing is not reproduced exactly. Mounting needs 3×3 studs and 17 mm clearance; preserve access to the dial.
- The 5 original strip-light location(s) use Micro Meteors in this proposal. Find 1×3 stud attachment points with 6.4 mm height clearance. Do not assume the old adhesive position will accept a housing.
- The source inventory lists multiple supply groups. 2 Flux Belts are budgeted. Power each group separately; no USB supplies are included. Verify which components belong to each original group.
- The source has two power packs, so it may contain separate lighting circuits. Do not collapse them into one route without checking reach and disconnects.
- Check the cockpit and hull sections remain removable, and review the flicker and multi-effects substitutions.
- Capacity allowance: 12 Astro light/string connectors across 12 Dock Astro ports. This checks total capacity only. Assign lights by their actual locations and confirm each Dock’s local capacity and lead reach before buying.
- This is an independently derived component plan, not a physically tested installation or a replacement step-by-step instruction manual. Use the original guide together with the concordance and changed mounting/power plan.
Connection counts are a planning check. They do not verify local grouping, cable reach, power draw or physical fit. Astro ports and Belt sockets are different connections.
How the cable allowance was calculated
11 network components require at least 10 Belt links in this planning allowance. Original cable lengths are retained where mapped; included FX Belts are credited once. Extra links use 50 cm Belts as an unmeasured routing allowance. Check the actual branch and effect grouping against every source step.
THE CONCORDANCE
EVERY CHANGE.
IN PLAIN SIGHT.
Quantities below are individual components. The shopping list combines shared packs, then rounds up once.
| Original 1.0 item | Proposed 2.0 replacement | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 6 x White 15cm Bit Lights | 6 × Astro Light Regular - White 15cm ↗ | Keep one light at each original fixture. Route the flat lead without pinching it and confirm that its 15 cm lead reaches the chosen Dock. |
| 3 x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights | 3 × Astro Light Regular - Flashing White 15cm ↗ | Keep one light at each original fixture. Route the flat lead without pinching it and confirm that its 15 cm lead reaches the chosen Dock. |
| 2 x Red 30cm Bit Lights | 2 × Astro Light Regular - Red 30cm ↗ | Keep one light at each original fixture. Route the flat lead without pinching it and confirm that its 30 cm lead reaches the chosen Dock. |
| 1 x Blue 30cm Bit Lights | 1 × Astro Light Regular - Blue 30cm ↗ | Keep one light at each original fixture. Route the flat lead without pinching it and confirm that its 30 cm lead reaches the chosen Dock. |
| 5 x White Strip Lights | 5 × Meteor Light Micro - White ↗ | One Micro Meteor per strip location. Its 1×3 Tether mount and 23.8×8×6.4 mm housing need different attachment and clearance. Fixture count is preserved; brightness and spread may differ. |
| 1 x Multi Effects Board | 1 × FX Spectrum ↗ | Use FX Spectrum with the closest appropriate mode: Elements for fire/flicker, Pulse, Gun, Emergency, Spooky, Sequence, Traffic or Glitter. Timing and output groups differ from 1.0. Each includes one 15 cm Belt and a 3×3 Tether. |
| 1 x Flicker Effects Board | 1 × FX Spectrum ↗ | Use FX Spectrum with the closest appropriate mode: Elements for fire/flicker, Pulse, Gun, Emergency, Spooky, Sequence, Traffic or Glitter. Timing and output groups differ from 1.0. Each includes one 15 cm Belt and a 3×3 Tether. |
| 2 x 6-Port Expansion Boards | 2 × Dock 6 ↗ | Astro ports are separate from the two Belt sockets. Mount the larger 2.0 housing with its included Tether; check the 1.0 board location has clearance. |
| 1 x 30cm Connecting Cable | 1 × Belt 30cm ↗ | Preserves the original nominal cable length. Belt plugs and routes differ; measure reach including bends before ordering. |
| 2 x 15cm Connecting Cables | No separate purchase | Preserves the original nominal cable length. Belt plugs and routes differ; measure reach including bends before ordering. 2 of these 15 cm Belts are supplied with the FX Spectrum controllers and deducted from standalone purchases. |
| 4 x 5cm Connecting Cables | 4 × Belt 5cm ↗ | Preserves the original nominal cable length. Belt plugs and routes differ; measure reach including bends before ordering. |
| 1 x AA Battery Pack (requires 3x AA Batteries) | No separate purchase | Power changes to a 60 cm USB Flux Belt and separately purchased manufacturer-specified 5V/2.4A supply. Old battery/USB alternatives are not added twice. |
| 1 x Flat Battery Pack (requires 2x CR2032 Batteries) | No separate purchase | Power changes to a 60 cm USB Flux Belt and separately purchased manufacturer-specified 5V/2.4A supply. Old battery/USB alternatives are not added twice. |
| 2.0 effect branch distribution | 2 × Split Dock ↗ | Each Split Dock has four Belt sockets: incoming power, effect-controller branch and onward trunk leave one spare. Keep steady lights off effect outputs. |
| Additional 2.0 links | 3 × Belt 50cm ↗ | 11 power-network components need at least 10 links. 5 source-length Belts plus 2 Belts included with FX controllers leave 3 additional links. 50 cm is a conservative routing allowance, not a measured installation length. |
| 2.0 USB power entry | 2 × Flux Belt 60cm ↗ | One Flux Belt per retained power group (old AA/USB alternatives combined). USB adapter or power bank excluded. Multiple sources must feed electrically separate networks; never join powered outputs. |
