Regulated Lighting

Regulated Lighting uses track power to provide illumination beginning at about 3 volts. Maximum illumination is reached at approximately 4.5 volts and remains constant for the balance of the speed range. Regulated Lighting gives a more intense and uniform illumination, uses less current and tends to ignore power interruptions caused by dirt on wheels and track resulting in more flicker free lighting.

VRS / Item 378 The VRS can be adjusted from 1.25 to 6.2 volts. The maximum output current is 1/2 ampere. Our VRS is suitable for many applications:

• Stationary lighting of building interiors, building ceiling and outside lights, street lights, marquees.
• Lighting passenger cars, cabooses. This unit is also LocoMatic™ compatible.
• Since it supplies 6 volts, it can be used for various smoke units.
• Use with our 1.5 volt (item #382), 2.7 volt (item #383), or 5 volt (item #756) lamps or our colored 1.5 volt lamps
(Red #384, Yellow #385, Green #386). See page 53 for details.

One unit powers 30 of the colored lamps, 12 of item #382, 8 of item #383 or #756. The VRS, item #378, is supplied with plug connectors for the input and output connections with approx. 6" of wire. The unit can be glued in place or double sided tape or Velcro can be applied to secure the unit in place. Requires input voltage greater than the output voltage up to 30vAC or 35vDC maximum. Input voltage may be from a stationary supply or track power. Track power can be DCC, DC, or AC!



RL - ADJ / Item 379 Three units shown, two with standard 4 lamps, included, in various positions. This lighting strip is designed to be broken into smaller segments to fit various configurations and HO equipment! It offers unique regulated lighting possibilities with cool operation. Besides it's long length of 16" and narrow width of ½" it is capable of powering eight low voltage lamps with variable regulated intensity (the lights don't go up or down in intensity with changes in track voltage unless the track voltage is insufficient to illuminate the lights). The unit can also be broken into smaller segments allowing it's installation in smaller cars or cabooses. Now you can illuminate your cars to the intensity desired. Dim for sleepers, bright for coaches. Break the board down into smaller segments for cabooses. Whatever you decide to install this lighting board in, it's sure to please. The RL-ADJ can be powered from DC, DCC, or AC track power. A fixed source will also do if using this as a stationary building light source. The RL-ADJ is configured to be fully compatible with our In Locomotive DC Sound Systems and our AC LocoMatic™ Sound and Control Systems without any additional parts! In addition to it's benefits of many lights, with cool operation, it also consumes less power than any known lighting board of it's kind allowing you to run a longer lighted train without consuming all of the power from your transformer / power source. A two pin connector is provided for easy disconnect The RL-ADJ comes with four lamps that you can place in any of the 16 mounting positions. The RL-ADJ contains five convenience breaks for easy segmentation of the board. Extra lamps are available as Item #383. Electrical specifications are: Lamp Voltage adjustable from 1.25 to 5 volts, Total Lamp Current = ½ ampere maximum (#383 lamp current = 0.06 amperes each), Maximum Input Voltage: DC = 35, DCC = 35, AC = 25.
