Each module is to be lit with the latest superbright LED strips supplied by LED Lighthouse.

 

I`ve settled on an equivelent of at least 100 watt brightness for each module which can be dimmed if needed.

 

These new type of LED lights available produce about 100 lumens per watt of power input. A 100 Watt filament bulb produces about 1200 lumens , so I would need an LED strip of at least 12watt per metre length.

 

I chose 4 meters of NANO TECH flexible LED strip 2835 60/LED/M at 14.4 Watt per meter. Waterproof.

The strip needs a 12volt transformer capable of coping with combined wattage. I also needed strip connecters and a dimmer switch.

I hope to get all four modules lit up this week.................

These look very similar to the ones I am using for a lighting rig on the club layout. One of our members used them successfully on his layout.

LED strip lights are now attached.....just some cable tidying to complete tomorrow as I upset the neatness by spending an hour and a half tracing a power fault which I eventually found to be a naff connection on one module.......
