0 controller Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi, I am running the loco on DCC. I am afraid now that if I increase power to the bulb, I might blow it. It is a very small LED. Controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 murrayec Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) On DCC the led is getting 12v all the time irrespective of the throttle control, so if that's what you mean by 'increase power' all will be OK!

0 WRENNEIRE Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Also some locos have dimmer lights than others Check out the 3 IR ones 127 & 133 have brighter lights than 130 as per the original locos And as Eoin says DC lights are reliant on more power for more brightness 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 controller Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Thanks for your replies. I have locos 125,131 and 134. Maybe the lights were meant to be like that, best left alone. Controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRENNEIRE Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I reckon 125 & 131 should not be too bright but 134 should as it would have had LED's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 controller Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 Spot on, took 134 out of the box and compared it to the other two, much brighter. Controller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
