what are the electrical current and voltage used to power Legacy LED headlights? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I want to replace the headlights on my newly acquired Legacy Sharknose set. I want a "warm color", more characteristic of a 1950's headlight, than the current bright white color.

What are the voltage and current driving the existing LED headlights. Also, what is the diameter of the LED?

You can use pretty much any white LED, be it white or warm white. I don't know offhand without taking my Sharks apart what size they are, you'll have to look.

John, what you have is a 3mm LED at 3.5 volts. It will be attached to a pcb but very easy to change out. Like John stated use any one you like.
