Just Plug lighting system by Woodland Scenics review

Just Plug lighting system by Woodland Scenics unboxing and review.
Something a bit different this time, I'm planning ahead with the lighting for the new layout instead of doing it as an afterthought like last time!

I am considering the woodland scenics just plug lighting systems. great video wish I could like more than once.

[@FarlandHowe]

It is a very convenient system. I used it on my Colorado & North Western. Compared to doing it with the raw components, LEDs switches, wire, etc., it is a little expensive here. Still has considerable merit. Good review, Rob

I paint the inside of my buildings with thick black enamel which does the trick. I also use silver foil! Glue it where it really shines through and it blocks light 100%. Because it's. Layer of metal.

Great gadget ,,, right up my street ,,, I get lost when people start talking about resisters and all that stuff ,,, great review/presentation

[@OntologicalQuandry]

Paint the inside of your buildngs black first (to absord light you don't want coming through) and then white or beige to simulate internal painting and help reflect more light out through the windows. You might also consider internal partitions if you want to simulate rooms. This lighting system intrigued me, but it is far too simple for any real use. It could have been expanded to incorporate better zoning and dimming and also flashing or blinking effects. Maybe the manufacturers will upgrade it before competitors step in .

Another great review Simon, thanks for the details! A good alternative to going back to GCSE electronics there. Would this be applied to signalling or is that a different system all together? Cheers.

[@ratroddiesels1981]

love your layout and the light give it a nice touch.

[@MichaelHenfrey]

It seems a great system and the dcc option could be very useful. However quite pricey but I guess you pay that for convenience. Definitely something to consider though. Cheers, Michael

[@SimonsShed]

Yep, costs could add up for a big layout, but its so easy to set up. I may use a mix of Just Plug and more 'conventional' lights e.g. station platform lights as I'm not sure there are any Just Plug lights that match what I need in N gauge.

[@ScottDowneywoundedbear]

Its a great little system for people that don't want to get into making their own and having to wired it up themselves.

[@2KXMKR]

It's a great system for anyone struggling with lighting. I just can't get my head around it. For myself, the dimming feature is the major selling point. I've had layouts in the past that were supposed to have really dim station lamps but the LED's made them look like floodlights. It is bloody expensive, though. Pricing it up, I'm looking at around £100 just to light up my new station and car park area.

[@SimonsShed]

It is very easy to set up and adjust etc but yes,its pricey, I think I'll have to buy a bit at a time!

Woodland scenics make a light diffusing window film kit and a light block kit for buildings. Those are great for preventing the light from glowing through the walls. The film allows light through but hides the interior, so you can't see inside the empty building. I plan on using this system on my layout.

[@SimonsShed]

Sounds good, will take a look, thanks!

[@msparry1]

Thanks Simon. Looks like a good system to me...

[@michaelwhiles5282]

Hi Simon - useful video - some advice please - using the Linker Kit is it possible to add in other brands of LED lights ? Thanking you in advance !

[@SimonsShed]

I've added different brands but I had to solder them on to the existing lights as they didn't have the right connectors.

[@michaelwhiles5282]

Thank you ! @@SimonsShed

[@JBG1968]

How does one connect to the regular powerpack ac connection ?

[@jj8995]

Good info do I need the aux switch on just the main hub .to start with .thanks

[@pim1234]

Is there no possibility to time the different lights. All of them together is not very life like ...

[@denismcbride7901]

just plug lights come with about 2' of pre wired wire. Can you slice more wire.

[@agoogleuser7240]

I think this is a key point - otherwise the lights have to be close to a controlling unit, and it could be at an inconvenient part of the baseboard.

[@IanCampCST]

Enjoy your videos very instructive.

[@ClementEHill]

Can I use my existing lights to connect to a Just Plug system?

[@yank4334]

PAINT THE INSIDE ITS A MUST

[@senatuspopulusqueromanus5626]

I want to do some n scale how do you think i should start I'm American but I want a British railroad where do I find British steam engines

[@samavenellmtb945]

Bachmann model railways are good for Graham Farish models

[@dylanhale7300]

ebay is your friend buddy. just be ready to pay upto about $30 extra for overseas shipping

[@SimonsShed]

Yes ebay I guess, or maybe ehattons or other UK model shops will ship internationally?
