New Modern Freight/Industrial Lights

[Rod Fearnley]

Last try.
I have been working on some yard lights for a freight depot on my RR and came across these lights in PoundLand. They are for computer`s, 5 LED`s with a Usb connector.  The pictures are fairly self explanitory.
The only real difficult bit (for some) will be the two solder joints used to disconnect the old wire`s and re soldering the new.
I reckon they cost less than £1.50 each to make. Took me less than an hour to make two. The mast is Evergreen Styrene #227

Nice idea - thanks for posting.


what did you use for a power supply ? 5v ?


I'm not allowed in £1 stores 'cos I come home with too much junk.

That's because you buy only the dollar stuff. : ???

David I run all of my lighting in the garden from 12volt Malibu system. Lighting in buildings, street lights etc.

Please Explain? What is a Malibu system, surely its not my old plank I used to surf on?
If you want a cheap and reliable 12 volt supply these are brilliant. For use outdoors enclose them in a weather proof box;

Trev, the/a Malibu system, my word system, is the company that makes garden lights. They come with a transformer with built in time switches. On an off twice in 24 hours. As I have two set,s of these, I use them to power lighting on my RR. Besides the garden lights. Most of the garden lights have blue filters. So, tha even in the pitch black, it looks like moon light on the layout.
I bought them in B&Q. A USA version of Home Depot.
