LED's with bayonet base? (THE RESULTS)

Mike DOGR Forum Member

Scott's odds-n-ends used to sell LED's with a bayonet base and side emitted light, but I waited too long and evidently he sold out to Train Electronics, which don't appear to carry the LED's anymore. I have several Williams locos that I want to install LED's in, but I can't find anything other than some Chinese made LED's that only work on 6 volts. I am trying to keep it simple, so I would prefer something that drops in rather than having to wire in and mount the LED's. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Mike

I tried the links provided and decided on Town and Countries products. Their LED's are rated at 18V. They came in this weekend and I just installed one in my Williams E7A. I think they are quite adequate and I am pleased with the results.

I have three pictures attached. I had my transformer set at 15 volts for the tests. There was only a slight change in light output from 5V to 20V unlike the incandescent. First one shows the incandescent bulb, second shows LED, third shows LED with aluminum foil shield to block light in the rest of the cab.
