Title: Bachmann 2-8-0 led
Post by: Pjh on February 08, 2020, 10:20:59 AM

I recently purchased a new 2-8-0 chassis assembly . It is fitted with an Led headlight. My previous ones have normal incandescent lamps . Would these LEDs be ok with 12 Volts or do I need to connect a resistor in line? I have a wow sound decoder fitted with 12 v output .
Regards Peter

You need a 1K resistor. I have used a 1/8 watt resistor. I had many 1/8 watt in my junk box. Many use a 1/4 watt resistor.
