A plug in signal Mk 2

Ok, I have sold my soul to the devil and created a you tube account. So heres my first go at doing a video and linking it through to here. If it doesn't work shout at me and I'll see what I got wrong.

 

Anyway, this is a proper signal on a plug in post. The mk 2 has a detent spring to hold the signal at the right place ( the mk 1 inchwormed up a bit ) and the signal bit is better. Those round rung ladders from MSE look the part, worth the effort needed to make them. Three out of five made, getting there.

 

 

Sorry if its a bit grainy, I'm still learning this stuff.

Yep. I used a warm white LED chip. The resistor in the base is 1k so that illumination is 5V. I think I'll add about 2k externally and run them at 12 V. The subtle thing was to drill out the rear of the lamp and add a 0,5 mmm fiber optic so that the blinders work as well. I wish I knew how to get a photo, but they look good in the dark. At least the 1 k protects the LED in the meantime.
