6.7. Fixing the carriage lighting
After completing the connections, secure the
lighting in place (eg. with double sided
adhesive tape).
6.8. Connecting the remaining segments
The after shortening remaining segment with
one remaining LED can be used for instance as
a driver´s cab lighting or as lighting for the
passengers´s entrance. The remaining segment
should be connected to the power supply via a
series resistor of minimum 1 kOhm.
When connecting it to analogue a.c. voltage,
you have to connect additionally a diode
1N4148 according to the connection diagram, as
the LED will be otherwise damaged after a
certain operating duration.
When connecting it to analogue d.c. voltage,
the LED on the remaining segment will light in
one direction of travel only. If you want the
LED to light in both directions of travel, you
have to mount a bridge rectifier as in the
connection diagram.
