Fantastic 18v bulbs at a fantastic price

Posted by Randy Peck on 29th Oct 2020

I use these in series in my 2400-series passenger cars. At half of their rated voltage, they'll last forever, and produce the perfect amount of light in my opinion. I'm not trying it light up my layout -- I want to see my passenger cars from the outside as if they're warmly lit inside and these bulbs are perfect for that.
I also tried out this store's LED-1445WW and LED-120WW LED bulbs, and found them to be dim and sterile.
The old-school incandescent bulbs draw about 100ma per pair in my 2400-series cars, so the power requirement adds up fast. But with plenty of power, these "real" incandescent bulbs can't be beat.
