0 controller 30 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 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 post Share on other sites
0 murrayec 2,373 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (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! Eoin Edited April 3 by murrayec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 WRENNEIRE 2,829 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 controller 30 Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 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 post Share on other sites
0 WRENNEIRE 2,829 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I reckon 125 & 131 should not be too bright but 134 should as it would have had LED's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 controller 30 Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Spot on, took 134 out of the box and compared it to the other two, much brighter. Controller. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
