  1. I have three of the PPI 14 units on my layout, I wired them as per the instructions and have had no problems at all with them, all of the Blocksignalling items I have seem very reliable, contact Steve Heaton at BlockSignalling I am sure he will be able to get you sorted out.

  2. Further to my question regarding the above yard floodlight, I have removed a small section of the metal 'stem' this has revealed what I believe to be four enamelled wires which I assume is one wire for each LED, these are wired via a resistor to 12V positive and the 'stem' itself has a wire soldered to it which goes to the negative.

    I have no experience of working with enamelled wire, is there anything that I need to do with the wire before I can solder a resistor to the wires ( I was thinking of a 1K resistor) since I dont know what the correct resistor value should be.

    Thanks again for any input.

  3. I came across one of the above yard lamps cheap at an exhibition, as there are no wires coming out of the base I decided to have it as a 'just for show' depot floodlight.

    I started wondering if the light will actually work as the LEDs look to be intact but as there are no wires to connect it to a 12V power supply I dont know how I can test it, if anyone can give me an idea how to do this that would be great

    Thanks in advance.
