LED headlights hooked up to an LM-3S.

<< < (5/6) > >>

KPack:
Warm white LED's with 1K oh, 1/4 watt resistors.  All my locomotives have these for headlights and ditchlights.  If they are too bright then you can just turn it down on the controller.  Easy.

SWA737:
Ok thanks Kevin.

SWA737:
The 3 Volt ones, correct Kevin?

Tom:
Well, after reading this thread, I do not feel bad about staying with incandescent bulbs.  As an aside, on their longevity, I happen to have several Marx HO DC locomotives +/- 65 years old and lights are still working and have never been changed, maybe they do not make them like they used to.

Beyond that diversion, I dimmed one locomotive’s LED light to 20% and it is still too bright.  Too bad Ring will not allow dimming to near zero.

Tom, you can write your own light program that is as low as you want.
