How to power your street lights very easily.

Postby old tom on Tue May 13, 2008 3:17 pm

The streelights I ordered from Jake arrived today and they really look the business (Thanks Jake! :D ).

Here's the 'how to bit'.

If you have a sister, earn some brownie points by offering to take her to the next local 'Dolls House and Craft fair'. After she's been revived and while you are there, buy a power supply, plugs and a plug strip for a lot less than what the model railway trade is charging at the moment.

The power supply I have is rated to take 20 lamps and it's all ever so easy to fit:

As soon as I have chance, I'll fit them to my extention boards and take a couple of photos for you to see what they look like.
IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM

They are from my small business called 'Railway Lighting'. These cost £1 each and if you would like some I can arrange that. Just feel free to pm or email me.

Thanks

Talking about using dolls house stuff for lighting,
below is a site my wife was looking at. (hinting about b-day)

It has a few bits that could be very interesting for lighting & effects

Jake has some nice lighting, is there any chance of putting 12v bulbs in Jake?


12 V is an option i am currently looking at. I wont be selling on my site until I have sufficent stock, which will all be probaly 12V.
