If this subject has been mentioned in WT topics befiore now then please excuse this old beare because the memory is not what it was.
So, we want to fit lighting into our carriages and we have no practical experience with this subject. We are building 7mm models of prototypes which were extant in the grouping era - say 1930 to 1940 - and that means incandescent bulbs rather than flourescent strips.
Ideally, the lighting is to be controlled by DCC decoders and with functionality to offer flicker free running. The DCC is to implement the concept of master carriage lighting switch. If possible, the compartment lights are to be dimmable whilst the corridor / vestibule lights remain bright. Functionality suggests that a pure function decoder with three or four outputs ought to be useful.
Who has any experience in this field and can suggestion either methods or products / suppliers?
thank you, Graham
