HO Electrical | LED Lights | Peco Catalog

Stu has two questions he is hoping someone can help him with:
1. Can someone please send me basic info on working with both grain of rice LED’s and those little round bulbs since I want to use them both to light structures? Can they be used together on the same buss? 
2. Other than Walthers please tell me where I can buy products from the Peco catalog? Their fax number doesn’t answer and I can’t find a phone number. Thanks in advance for your help.

Comment: Grain Of Rice Led’s are so called because of their small size. The color comes from the colour of the bulb or lens not by the filament. Any filament light will produce the light by heating wire, so the bulb can become hot and can on occasions pose a risk of fire. Filament bulbs do produce more natural light. These grain of rice LED bulbs usually come pre-fitted with the wires attached for easier connection to your power source. Members of the online model train club http://www.modeltrainclub.org/club.html who are up to level 4 and above, will have access to some great tutorials on using LED’s.

    The controlling factor is the voltage required by the lights/LEDs. If they are all 12v, (or 5v) you can use them on the same bus. If they require different voltages, you will need different buses.
