      Thanks, I think some people make it sound a lot more difficult than it is to elevate what they think is their own self importance.

    Nice video. Makes it really simple. Can I ask where you got the connector blocks from? They're ideal for multiple lights.

      Cheers Paul. Also meant to ask how many lights can you run off one transformer? I've seen other videos where people have blown transformers by adding too many lights.

      @@GreenhillJunction With kytes lights as many as you like. The main station terminal has 33 lights. However the dimmer switch that Kytes lights sell struggled and blew. We had to buy a high amperage one. In this video among other things you can see the station terminal lights ua-cam.com/video/rgv9i5OXV6I/v-deo.html . The high amperage dimmer I bought off ebay here is the description. UK DC 12V-24V 30A LED Light Lamp Dimmer Controller Rotate Switch Panel Module.

      No, just plug and play.

    Nice video, where did you get those dimmers.

    • @PaulBriden
      @PaulBriden  2 роки тому +2

      The dimmers came from Kytes lights. However, these dimmers struggle with a lot of lights. The best model railway dimmer I have come across is this. UK DC 12V-24V 30A LED Light Lamp Dimmer Controller Rotate Switch Panel Module. The ebay item number is 164112858030. From the Getgo I would have bought 4 of these if I had known about them. Have fun !!!
