The Bivar LED's are easier to install in the searchlights as the have more room in the back of the searchlight housing. I will be using the RR CirKits LED's on the Tomar Dwarf Signals and the Tomar - Triple Searchlight Masts.
The best part about the Double Head masts is that I can actually fit all eight LED wires (common, red, yellow, green) in the mast tube. When I install them in a Triple Head Searchlight I will have to use 36AWG wire or magnet wire.
The existing Bivar 1/8" - 3mm Light Pipes are able to be used in the Tomar Searchlights too, they again in stopping the surface of LED being seen and help provide a constant even light from them.
The end result for the colour is pretty good, not quite as good as the RRCirKits colours especially the green & yellow. But at least they are much better than using the old Bi-Coulured ones.
Next stage is to connect them to JMRI and adjust the output and resistor value and program them into the Panel Pro - Panel...
Merry Christmas & Safe and Happy New Year to all following our blog throughout the year.
