Reply to "LED light bulbs for passenger cars."

DCS213,  I've been upgrading passenger cars and cabooses with GRJs LED lighting module and 5 meter rolls of Warm White LED strip lights from eBay.  They are about $5 as GRJ said. Probably would do 16 cars at 18 LEDs per car.  You can get the modules directly from him.   Then all you need is a little wire and some soldering.    

My passenger cars had two mini Christmas tree lights in them. They drew about 220 mAs.     I put 15 to 18 LED strips in my passenger cars, could have used 12 just as easily.   After the upgrade the cars drew about 50 mAs.  

A caboose I upgraded had two small globe bulbs in it.  It drew 310 mAs.  I used 9 LEDs in that.  I measured 30mAs after the upgrade.  

Quite a savings in Amps, better lighting, and no flicker.  

Hope that helps.
