Item description for TWENTY FOUR GRAIN OF WHEAT MINI LIGHT BULBS 3 VOLT 3 mm

STOP fretting over melted or warped plastic models caused by using 12 volt lights

on your layout!. Wiring 3 or 4 of these in series uses the same voltage

as one 12 volt lamp without the plastic damaging heat of 12 volt lights

TWENTY FOUR "Grain of Wheat" incandescent light bulbs, 3 Volt 68 ma each. They are 3mm (1/8") (T-1) with 5 1/2 inch insulated leads. I use these to light my HO passenger cars. They can be used for many other things also, like to light street lamps, doll houses, model car headlights and tail lights, etc. For the passenger cars, I wire 4 of them in series, and they light up the ENTIRE CAR beautifully! Since they're wired in series they can handle 12 volts with no problem. If you're using more than 12 Volts I'll throw in the appropriate resistors. I shorten the leads, solder them together and hot glue them to the inside roof of the cars with a very fine wire going down to the trucks. It works great! I drill holes in a narrow copper strip that the point of the wheels go thru and then into the truck. If its a heavy style coach there are 3 holes and three sets of wheels, and two for stream-liners. That seems to be the set up that works best with hardly any flickering at all! They give a nice warm glow, and they turn on almost instantly at 1.5 volts even when using four in series! Because of their low voltage, they don't get warm enough to cause the problems associated with 12 volt lamps, like the distortion of plastic caused by too much heat!

QUESTIONS:

I LOOKED IN THE LOCOMOTIVE AND THEY LOOK JUST LIKE YOURS DO. THINK THEY WILL WORK? I DON'T SEE NO 18 VOLT

ITS A LIONEL DASH-9 OR WILL THEY BURN OUT? TOM

Hi, and thanks for your inquiry! NOT. TO WORRY! All we have to do is wire the proper resistor in line with the light and it will work just fine! I will include them with your order at no additional cost! Best regards and have a happy new year, Greg

GREG. GOT THE LIGHT BULB AND RESISTOR PUT IN TODAY WORKS GREAT . TOM THANKS
