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 10 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 20 ma of DCC track current is required to operate the 10 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 10 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 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 LEDs to a car created even prototypical lighting and does NOT increase the power requirements it only makes lighting more distributed and prototypical.
Advantages
:
Only Prototypical Lighting System Available today for G Scale Interiors
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
20 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%
efficien
t, 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)
