  1. I always make my own rectifier, quite simple, using four diodes of the same type wired as in the diagram.

    I have made these for use with LED lighting and signalling with no adverse effects, connected to a Gaugemaster controller.

     

     

    I am sure there will be someone on here who could even advise which is the most suitable diode to use. Mine came out of the old Hornby HST and dummy power cars.

    Four 1N4002 diodes rated at 1A will do the job or use 1N5401 diodes rated at 3A. I suspect the Gaugemaster output is rated at 1A.
