Wire gauge for LED lights

<< < (2/2)

Morebassman:
Thanks for the info! That really gives me feel better about what I was using... 30 gauge.

Thanks for the tip Kevin.  I am just getting started with all of this stuff - RailPro and LEDs, and appreciate your insight (along with others here in this user group).  What voltage would be appropriate for the Evans Design LED's for HO Athearn RTR locomotives?  I'm guessing the same would apply to other loco manufacturers like Scaletrains and Atlas?

Thanks,
Bill

LOL.  Never mind.  I found Bill's "Choosing LED's" thread.  Good stuff.
