Description:

The first of its kind prototypical interior lighting fixtures; no more circuit boards or self adhesive LED strips, you would not allow them on the ceiling of you home so why put them on your railroad, they do not distribute light properly, are ugly, inefficient and can damage your cars.

This new prototypical easy to use G-Scale lighting fixtures work on any long length car. The lamp shades feature a Tiffany style Opal white diffused reflector for soft warm white lighting. An SL LED controller is required for operation and are both the most efficient and lowest cost. They are available in roof, wall or under car mounting versions with optional anti-flicker, super capacitor and battery options for AC, DC, DCC or battery power operation.

The 4 LED fixture and SL LED controller is the only solution for up to 94% efficiency with any type of power. The high efficiency means no heat generation so no more melted roofs caused by by other products. As little as 8 ma of DCC track current is required to operate the 4 light fixture making this the lowest power lighting available today, no other product is even close to the efficiency. On analog power you lighting will be full on at slow loco speeds (track power) and efficiency is still up to 94%, the best in the industry. The next closest product is less than 20% efficient at full track voltage.

In addition to the 4 LED Tiffany style Opal fixture shown here we offer 8, 12 and 14 LED versions for long cars as well as 4, 6 and 8 LED versions for short and med length cars. Versions for loco cabs, work cars and all style and size cabooses are also available, you can even be your own lighting director using the single 1 LED Opal lamp fixtures with 3M adhesive pads for instantly adding light wherever you desire. Adding additional Opal lamp fixtures to a car creates soft and realistic lighting and does NOT increase the power requirements it only makes lighting more distributed and prototypical.

Advantages:

Prototypical Lighting
Pre-wired for any long G Scale car (non-LGB cars use our optional mounting plate for any roof)
Best Lighting solution for any type of power; analog (DC), AC, DCC or Battery with an SL LED Controller
Lowest power, with an SL LED Controller
- 8 ma at 22 volts, the lowest current of any product available.
Highest output at slow loco speeds and full brightness with no track power when SL buffers used..
Up to 94% efficient, highest efficiency of any product available with an SL LED Controller.
- The reason why using the SL LED lighting with controller draws the least current of any other product is that White LEDs operate at about 3 volts DC and if your track voltage is 18 volts, the 15 volt difference in voltage is wasted as heat by all other products, period.
- At 18 volts input voltage all other systems at at BEST 3/18ths or 16% efficient where ours is up to 94%
Over 6X more efficient that any other product
Life time warranty when used with SL LED controllers (return to dealer or Shourt Line for repair or replacement)
Prototypical Appearance The only interior lamp fixtures based on real fixtures and no visible circuit boards, electronic parts, sockets or wiring (with the exception of input and output SL power micro cables
Work with any style roof from any manufacturer

Mounting Instructions:

4 Light fixture (for seating or general car area illumination):

LGB short to med length cars: Use the two supplied mounting screws to attach of the 4 lamp fixture to the roof mounting studs located on the inside of the car roof. Use the free SL LGB mounting plate (request one when ordering) with 3M high temperature self adhesive pad that mount on any roof interior without center of car mounting posts.

Non-LGB cars: For cars without LGB style mounting studs use the free SL LGB mounting Plate (request one when ordering). Screw the 4 light fixtures to the SL Mounting Plate, peel off red cover of the 3M pad and apply to a clean surface on at the desired location. The lighting fixture can be removed if desired, by removing the mounting screws.

Optional end of car porch Light fixtures are available separately (free wiring when ordered with a fixture)

LGB or Non-LGB cars: Solder the long stripped wire to any LED wire connected to a red wire (positive), solder the short stripped wire to any LED wire connected to a green wire (negative). Clean the roof where you want to mount the light with an alcohol wipe, peel off the red backing and position as desired.

Optional exterior coach lamp LEDs are available separately (free wiring when ordered with a fixture):

LGB or Non-LGB cars: Solder the long stripped wire to any LED wire connected to a red wire (positive), solder the short stripped wire to any LED wire connected to a green wire (negative). Snap the LED mounting into a coach lamp and route wires as desired.

Hook-up Instructions:

Powering the 4 LED fixture: Route one of the pre-wired 18 inch LED power leads from the light fixture to a roof, wall or under car mounted SL LED Regulator or run to a car that already has power from an SL LED controller. To route power coming from the bottom of the car place one of the fixture power cables into a hole in your car.

When routing power from another car or loco at coupler height or when using an under car SL LED controller route one of the fixture power cables through a hole in the bottom of the car.

When using an under car SL LED controller, connect the wires to the Output of an SL LED controller as shown above, be sure to connect the smooth cable to the + output and the cable with ridges to the - (negative) output. Always test your SL LED controller BEFORE installing by following the SL LED controller directions.

Connect the power input terminals to either a SL Power pickup kit or SL BB Wheel short connector kit (see above) or use the 18 inch cable that comes with all under car SL LED controllers.

Secure the under car SL LED controller (with your choice of 2 second anti-flicker[shown above] or 1,2,4 or 10 minute run w/o power buffer) with the two stainless steel screws provided. Note that LGB cars have mounting holes on all short and mid length cars for mounting.

Each fixture comes with two stainless steel mounting screws and a free mounting plate (when requested at time of ordering) for mounting on cars without LGB type mounting studs. Also included are two 18 inch long black twin micro cables for wiring.

The large opal white lamps provides even illumination and all circuit components, electrical parts and wires are hidden inside the fixture for a prototypical appearance. and keeps wires in the wire channel of the roof for easy roof removal and replacement. The fixture hides wires that can be routed down the inside walls of your car for wheel power pickup and/or run from car.

Additional LEDs can be added to the fixture at any time by wiring in parallel to the existing LEDs. The long positive lead is wired to the the leg of an LED connected to a RED positive wire. The short LED leg is wired to leg of an LED wired to a green negative wire. Each SL LED controller can operate up to 300 LEDs in parallel so add LEDS wherever you desire.

The micro power cable included with the boards makes a super clean and prototypical appearance as shown above. (train not included with item)

White latex paint can be added to the back side of LEDs when mounted on a roof without sky lights. For roofs with a copula windows (sky lights) no white reflective paint is added so that LEDs can illuminate BOTH down into the inside of the car AND up into the copula and its windows for a prototypical appearance as shown in photos. (train not included with item)

For indoor or outdoor use. Note the SL LED regulator mounted to the bottom of the car above that can power up to 300 LEDs or over 70each 4LED fixtures.

Don't leave your passengers in the dark! (train car and figures not included with item)
