The ESU passenger car lighting system offers crucial advantages:

Yellow LEDs

SMD LEDs, the latest design, insure a uniform illumination of the cars at extremely low power consumption.

Constant voltage

Thanks to built-in voltage control the brightness remains almost constant even when conventional driving.

Adjustable brightness

With the help of a small variable resistor (potentiometers) you can individually adjust the brightness according to your wishes.

Variable length

The lighting strips can be arbitrarily cut to fit the cars of all manufacturers.

Buffer capacitor

The 255mm long luminaries include a buffer capacitor to bridge small power interruptions.

PowerPack

To bridge prolonged power interruptions, the 255mm long lighting strip can be retrofitted with an optional Power Pack. This capacitor with extremely high capacity is standard at the 380mm illumination.

Taillights included

Each lighting strip comes with a red taillight. When not in use, this lighting strip can be easily removed.

Integral DCC Decoder

The integral ESU decoder supports, of course, both Motorola® and DCC and also works on DC and AC analogue layouts. The operating mode is detected automatically.  In addition to the basic maximum brightness adjusted with the control knob on the lighting strip, brightness may be further adjusted by means of the software. Various prototypical lighting effects such as soft dimming, fluorescent lamp effect, faulty fluorescent lamp, battery powered lighting and many others provide realistic results. The 11 LEDs are wired in several groups, which can be switched separately. Function mapping allows to assign the LEDs to the function button of your choice. Two additional outputs may be used for the red end-of-train lights or for directional lighting in a cab control car.  

Of course, all effects can also be programmed once the lighting strip has been installed. Alternatively you may read out the values of your digital interior lights on the programming track.
