Hello Marty. Thank you for your comments . To be honest , I'm not sure, I don't know what a PWM throttle is. These should work with any dc voltage up to 10v if that helps.
I was just thinking, these could be used to light buildings...no?...it seems you have the resistor and whatever else needed on the wafer....so if you designed a simple socket you could sell those too...i'd buy them. have you tried retro fitting a marklin 8800 with an LED? they don't have lights normally?
That's a very good idea... they could indeed be used inside buildings. They're so small they could fit in small enclosures. As for the 8800 tank loco there is no obvious way of getting lights in to the loco, especially as the body shell is solid metal.
@@stephencranford1102 oh I know , it would require modification to the shell. I can’t really see the wafer well, but it looks like one could cut the contact points down quite a bit to make the wafer smaller ( you just have to make sure to not cut the resistors). here is an example of guy retro-fitting your LED to a slightly larger loco...I think he added the digital decoder to activate the lights at will rather than by the throttle. Anyway..think about mass producing a socket fo the wafer. :-)
HI Stephen, very nice product and video, are there any issues with PWM throttles?
