Run full train lighting with low or no track voltage for 5 minutes per 8 LEDs, with an Always On Output plus an Automatic Lighting Aux Output that slowly goes on when the train stops all powered by a UPS 2.5F 11V Super Cap Buffer
SL-6525911 Ultimate Lighting System - Made in the USA
Operate up to 300 LEDs or other load up to 3 amps and 15 watts maximum output.
The SL-6525911
lighting system provides; LED control/dimmer functions, a UPS circuit
with a DC to DC changer and super capacitor bank for powering all 12
LEDs up to 3 minutes without track power, an Aux Out circuit as shown
above can be wired to the exterior lamps so they automatically, slowly
turn on when the train stops and go off when the train starts. The
Automatic circuit has a special feature that smoothly brings the lamps
to full brightness regardless of how fast the train stops.
Mount on the bottom any short car (LGB passenger car shown above - sold separately.
Here is a typical starter set with lighting provided by the SL-6525911.
The video below shows the UPS power the interior lighting without track
power and also the automatic slow turn on and off of exterior lighting
when the train stops and starts. (Power connectors and train with track not included)

Description:
This is ultimate lighting system for analog or PWM track powered trains designed and made in the USA by the Shourt Line. This is the only lighting system to provide 5 minutes of full lighting per 8 LEDs at low track voltage or no track voltage, automatically turns on lights of your choice when the train stops and hides all the electronics inside a weatherproof case that looks like a brakeman's box under any short car.
The system includes the following: SL under car weatherproof case with the following functions; a 3 Amp throttle & LED controller/dimmer, a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Source) with super capacitor buffer for 3 minutes of lighting at at low or no track power, an always on output and auxiliary output that automatically slowly comes on when the train stops (track power < ~2 volts) and goes off when the train starts (track power > ~2 volts), input for DC (analog) or PWM track power or any source of power DC, PWM, DCC or Battery power up to 30 volts, All input and outputs have screw terminals for easy installation. The lighting system operates with the included LGB train controller or any other type of train controller; analog (DC), PWM DC, AC or DCC.
Use the Always On Outputs for interior lighting and the Aux. Output that slowly goes on when the train stops for the exterior lighting so that passengers can safely enter and exit the train. The Automatic Auxiliary Output adds a unique animated lighting effect that works every time the train stops and starts!
The lighting system is up to 94% efficient so that even the LGB starter set power pack can power a loco and two cars with 12 LEDs plus additional car lighting for future expansion of your railroad. The lighting system is also unique in not only operating at 1/6th the power of any other available type but it also works at the lowest track voltage or no track voltage, it fact it operates up to 3 minutes without any track power! Power up to 300 LEDs with the Shourt Line lighting system, that is over 40 cars with 6 LEDs in each car!
The SL-6525911 Case comes with screws for mounting on an LGB short car in minutes. It also can be used with other cars using the supplied mounting screws. For long length cars use the SL-8525911 version that has the same features and a case that has terminals on the long side for easily bottom wiring or long cars.
The SL LED controller includes a dimmer to adjust your choice of lighting level and works at full brightness at slow loco speeds (low track voltage) or no track power for up to 3 minutes via the built in UPS (Uninterrupted Power Source) that utilizes a DC to DC converter for charging a Super Capacitor Bank at up to 94% efficiency. No more dark passenger cars when you stop at the station.
Features:
SL-6525911 Mounting and Wiring:
Note that the SL-6525911
fits on the bottom of LGB short cars between the air tanks and
terminals at each end allow easy wiring car lighting, wheel or loco
power pickups and to additional cars for control and dimming of car
lighting. (Power connectors and train with track not included)
Mount
on the bottom any short car (LGB passenger car shown above - sold
separately) in minutes using the mounting screws and mounting holes
found on LGB short cars. For non-LGB cars drill a pilot hole in the
bottom of the car after placing the SL-6525911
in the center of the bottom as shown above. Test the movement of the
trucks to ensure the wheel do not touch the controller case. To dim the
LED brightness, place the care on its side as shown above and use a
small screw driver to turn the SL-6525911's LED
dimmer control (see red circle in photos) counter-clockwise as shown
above. See the instructions included in the set for before turning the
control clockwise to make the LEDs brighter. (Power connectors and train with track not included)
The Case has screw terminal blocks for
easy solderless wiring. The case also has pass through slots so SL twin
micro cables can be routed through the case to the other side of the car
when required. The case is weather proof and the terminals wire
connectors are have waterproof connections to the electronics mounted
inside. The case lid is on top of the case when mounted to a car and can
be made waterproof in minutes using silicon on the weather proof seal
built into the lid and on the dimmer adjustment hole on the face of the
case.
The lighting fixtures LED's control and dimming is provided by the miniature SL 8453003 Precision Train Throttle & LED controller mounted inside the SL-6525911 case. The controller can power and dim over 300 LEDs at up to 94% efficiency from AC,DC or DCC at 4 to 35 volts.
This a an example of the
SL Interior 4 LED Tiffany style Opal Lamp fixture and two of the SL
Exterior 1 LED Tiffany style Opal Lamp fixtures mounted over the
exterior platforms. The interior lights are wired to the Always ON
output and the exterior lights are wired to the Aux on stop output
terminals. (Power connectors and train with track not included)
LED car to car
lighting can be done with the SL 3 pin LED connector as shown above. The
three connectors provide both Interior and automatic Exterior lighting
for up to 40 cars using only one controller. The connectors have a fast
release feature in case of derailment so wires can not be damaged. (Power connectors and train with track not included)
(Power connectors and train with track not included)
SL 3 pin power connectors
provide power and control for the interior and exterior auto on
lighting. This photo shows the 3 pin connector at the front of the blue
2nd car. Additional cars with lighting can be added by using the
supplied 3 pin connector at the rear of each car as shown below. (Power connectors and train with track not included)
The bottom view above shows the SL female 3 pin
the rear (right) connector and the SL male 3 pin connector (left)
connector. Note the mounting holes at the center of LGB short cars that
provide an excellent place to mount the SL-6525911 lighting system on a car (see photo above). (Power connectors and train with track not included)
The SL female 3 Pin LED power connector at the rear of the car can be routed low for a prototypical appearance. (Power connectors and train with track not included)
Note that all
wiring is low on the car for a prototypical appearance. This view of the
car with the SL mounted lighting controller shows the LGB power plugs
at the front of the car for lighting power. (Power connectors and train with track not included)
This photo shows the SL
lighting controller receiving power from the rear of a loco. Power can
also come from the track using the SL power pickup with an LGB or PIKO
metal wheel or ball bearing power pickup wheel. (Power connectors and train with track not included)
Don't leave you
passengers in the dark! Keep the lighting on and turn on the outside
lighting automatically with the SL Train Lighting System that can power
up to 300 LEDs and 5 minutes per 8 LEDs without any track power!
