LEDs, no resistors
It uses up time and space to wire LEDs and resistors for all your
lighting needs. Many decoders today come with series resistors
already included for direct LED connection.
For the rest, consider LEDs with the resistors built in. Called 12
volt LEDs, they light about 4 volts and are almost full brightness
by 6 or 7 volts. I’ve found them in warm white color, which
works well for steam and early diesel headlights, as well as
interior lights for structures.
I purchased the unit shown in the photo from Litchfield Station,
their part number:
. The photo was taken with no
external resistors being used. The LED was connected to a 9-volt
battery. Other vendors have similar products. Find what you like.
