SL-8210230 Wired DUAL QUAD + 2 Soft White Opal Light Fixtures - 10 LEDs total + 2ea 18 inch Power Cables + 4 Mounting Screws - requires an SL LED controller

+ Free mounting plates with 3M adhesive pads for any cars without LGB type mounting studs (request when ordering)

Ready to run; pre-wired - ready to run with an optional SL LED controller

An SL LED controller is required for operation, use the SL-8452403 for battery operation or the SL-8453003 for AC,DC or DCC track power. When dimming is not required or space is a premium use the new micro side SL-8352403 for battery operation or the new SL-8353003 for AC, DC or DCC track power. All SL LED controllers can operate dozens of lighting fixtures or over 200 LEDs at up to 94% efficiency, 6 times more efficient than any other product.
Direct From Manufacturer- Made in the USA

Ordering Notes: Please let us know the following when ordering;

1. For LGB Roof interior installations use the 4 screws supplied to mount on the roof studs of the car.
2. For Non-LGB car installations use the FREE SL LGB Mounting Plate (request at time of order) that mounts in seconds to the roof of any car using the attached 3M adhesive pad.

The 10 LED lighting set installs in minutes with only a screw driver. (LGB 2080 car shown above not included)

Shourt Line Product Number: No. SL 8210230 $74.95 Wired - ready to install

The video above illustrates the full lighting even at low analog track voltage. The SL LED controller also provides the up to 94% efficient lighting, the lowest available for both analog power or DCC power. The 10 LED board runs at less than 20 ma of DCC power or full track power, by far the the lowest in the industry. No other product matches the performance. (train not included with item)

Description:

The first of its kind prototypical interior lighting fixtures; no more circuit boards or self adhesive LED strips, you would not allow them on the ceiling of you home so why put them on your railroad, they do not distribute light properly, are ugly, inefficient and can damage your cars.

This new prototypical easy to use G-Scale lighting fixtures work on any long length car. The lamp shades feature a Tiffany style Opal white diffused reflector for soft warm white lighting. An SL LED controller is required for operation and are both the most efficient and lowest cost. They are available in roof, wall or under car mounting versions with optional anti-flicker, super capacitor and battery options for AC, DC, DCC or battery power operation.

The 10 LED fixture and SL LED controller is the only solution for up to 94% efficiency with any type of power. The high efficiency means no heat generation so no more melted roofs caused by by other products. As little as 20 ma of DCC track current is required to operate the 10 light fixture making this the lowest power lighting available today, no other product is even close to the efficiency. On analog power you lighting will be full on at slow loco speeds (track power) and efficiency is still up to 94%, the best in the industry the next closest product is less than 20 % efficient at full track voltage.

In addition to the 10 LED Tiffany style Opal fixture shown here we offer 8, 12 and 14 LED versions for long cars as well as 4, 6 and 8 LED versions for short cars. Versions for loco cabs, work cars and all style and size cabooses are also available, you can even be your own lighting director using the single 1 LED Opal lamp fixtures with 3M adhesive pads for instantly adding light wherever you desire. Adding additional Opal lamp fixtures to a car creates soft and realistic lighting and does NOT increase the power requirements it only makes lighting more distributed and prototypical.

Advantages:

• Prototypical Lighting
• Pre-wired for any long G Scale car (non-LGB cars use our optional mounting plate for any roof)
• Best Lighting solution for any type of power; analog (DC), AC, DCC or Battery with an SL LED Controller

• Highest output at slow loco speeds and full brightness with no track power when SL buffers used..
• Up to 94% efficient, highest efficiency of any product available with an SL LED Controller.
  • The reason why using the SL LED lighting with controller draws the least current of any other product is that White LEDs operate at about 3 volts DC and if your track voltage is 18 volts, the 15 volt difference in voltage is wasted as heat by all other products, period.
  • At 18 volts input voltage all other systems at at BEST 3/18ths or 16% efficient where ours is up to 94%
• Over 6X more efficient that any other product

Mounting Instructions:

4 Light fixtures (2 ea supplied pre-wired for seating or baggage area illumination):

• LGB Long length cars: Use the four supplied mounting screws to attach of the 4 lamp fixtures to the roof mounting studs located on the inside of the car roof. Optionally use the SL LGB mounting plate with 3M high temperature self adhesive pad that mount on any roof interior without mounting posts.
• Non-LGB cars: For cars without LGB style mounting studs use the optional SL LGB mounting Plate. Screw each of the 4 light fixtures to the SL Mounting Plate, peel off red cover of the 3M pad and apply to a clean surface on at the desired location. The lighting fixture can be removed if desired, by removing the mounting screws.
• For combine cars use the fixture with 3 mouting holes for the baggage area and mount so the large gap is between the center of the car and the fixture. This will place the opal soft white shades in line with the baggage area windows and sliding side doors.

1 Light fixtures (2 supplied pre-wired) for Toilet Illumination:

• LGB Long length cars: Clean the roof over the toilet area with an alcohol wipe, peel off the red backing and position on the roof in the corner above the toilet.
• Non-LGB cars: Clean the roof over the toilet area with an alcohol wipe, peel off the red backing and position on the roof in the corner above the toilet or attached to the roof outside the car over the entrance door.
• For combine cars the baggage area has no toilet so the toilet fixture can be placed over the stove or on the rear platform outside the car

Hook-up Instructions:

For powering from car wheels : Route one of the pre-wired 18 inch LED power leads from the light fixture to a roof, wall or under car mounted SL LED Regulator. Then route the wheel power pickup wires to the SL LED Regulator.

For powering from a loco or another car: Route one of the LED power cables to the next car that has power using a Shourt Line SL 4128210 LGB round mini-banana power connector kit. For LGB square style power connectors use a Shourt Line SL 4128310 LGB square 2 pin power connector kit. SL LED connectors can also be used for either LED voltage or track/battery voltage distribution.

For powering from lighting boards in additional cars: Use SL LED connectors for car to car LED power

Two 18" micro power cables provided can be used to connect to cars on each side by stringing the cars from roof to roof or by connecting at the coupler level for a brake hose appearance. Please contact the Shourt Line for help in selecting best lighting solution for your cars and type of train control and track voltage.

Photos:

The large opal white lamps provides even illumination and all circuit components, electrical parts and wires are hidden inside the fixture for a prototypical appearance. and keeps wires in the wire channel of the roof for easy roof removal and replacement. The fixture hides wires that can be routed down the inside walls of your car for wheel power pickup and/or run from car. (Ball bearing wheels sets and carbon bush power pickup kits available at our store) (train, track folks, LED regulator & cover, Anti-Flicker & cover, not included with item)

The micro power cable included with the boards makes a super clean and prototypical appearance as shown above. (train not included with item)

The micro power cable included with the fixture can be used for car to car power connections either at the roof line or at the coupler level. (train not included with item)

White latex paint can be added to the back side of LEDs when mounted on a roof without sky lights. For roofs with a copula windows (sky lights) no white reflective paint is added so that LEDs can illuminate BOTH down into the inside of the car AND up into the copula and its windows for a prototypical appearance as shown in photos. (train not included with item)

Don't leave your passengers in the dark! (train not included with item)
