Kytes lights platform lights how i wire them up

[@Rollercoastermadness1943]

Hi peter Yet another brilliant tutorial and an easy way of doing electrics and keeping track and lighting away from each other.

[@chelmswoodjunction]

hello thank you for the brill comments means im doing something right. hope you are still enjoying the videos in the future. peter

[@roystudds1944]

Great demonstration of how to connect the terminal blocks. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi Roy Glad you enjoyed the video. Peter

[@rydermike33]

Many thanks. I'm never too great with electrics but you have explained wiring LEDs very clearly. Thanks again.

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi Mike A very merry Christmas to you and your family. Glad the video was of help to you. Peter

[@AnneShowell]

Great video baby you always put all your heart and soul into your videos.

[@chelmswoodjunction]

i do try and do my best on my videos but still get nervous making them.

[@TheHunterg30]

on thin wires , burn the end with a gas lighter, the outer covering comes off without damaging the wire

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Thanks for the tip I will bare that in mind when I get my next load of lights. Peter

[@Crookedriverandeasternrr]

Thanks for the info. I liked and subbed.

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Glad you liked the video and glad it was of help and welcome aboard my channel hope you enjoy more videos. Peter

[@Crookedriverandeasternrr]

@@chelmswoodjunction you’re welcome and I look forward to catching up on your channel

Them terminal blocks are very good been using them on my sons 00 layout and the n gauge budget build layout, good video and keep it up. Tim

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi Tim Thank you for your comment im glad you enjoyed the video and I'm glad I'm not the only one using this way of doing things. More videos to come. Peter

[@scotabot7826]

Stupid question, but could you explain how the actual bus works? What is seperating the current in the bus? How does all the power not run together between each terminal. Are sections insulated from each other? Thanks a bunch!

[@chelmswoodjunction]

the bus wiree system works using blocks the top row has one red wire goes to pin 1 and out on pin 5 to the next block same as the bacl in one 6 out on 10. then the bus wires go to the track from the bottom of the block ie red pin 1 black pin 6 to the same piece of track etc etc

[@simp-sons2354]

Best explain

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hello Thank you for the kind comments. peter

[@steve1000017]

Great video but how did you connect the variable voltage supply to your bus wire as these units come fitted a variety of ends

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi Steve The answer to your question is a very easy one I cut the end off and used the wires as you normally would. Hope the answer helps. Peter

[@steve1000017]

I thought that might be the answer thanks

[@barra8771]

With the multi voltage adapter what colour is the positive wire? Barra.

[@chelmswoodjunction]

The positive wire if I remember should be the one side with white on it. Hope this helps. Peter

[@barra8771]

@@chelmswoodjunction thank you Peter. At 56 I am knew to model railway.OO gauge on a 6x4 board is my plan. Should get started in April, all going well. Barra.

[@chelmswoodjunction]

@@barra8771 hi barra you are never to old to start in the hobby. peter

[@chrispicard3404]

How do you connect the wire from the lights to the main power?

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi chris The wire from the lights go to one of the positive blocks and the other to the negative and the block itself is powered by a 12 volt multi voltage adapter plug set at 3 volts for the lights. Hope this helps. Peter

[@kendrawatkins8290]

i have 3 volt supply do I still need resistor and if so what size

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi kendra If the power supply is 3 volts and the items you wire into the terminal blocks are 3 volt then they will be fine without resistors but if the plug voltage is higher than the item i would consult with the manufacturer for resistor size. Hope this helps. Peter

[@paulmacey9084]

how did you wire up your voltage adapter to the block did you cut the wire and fix it to a block brilliant video

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi Paul You have answered your own question that's exactly how I did it just cut the multi voltage adapter of cut the wire and then done negative to black and positive to red and then daisy changed the blocks. Peter

[@richardbaker5127]

Just came across your video, very interesting, going to use 12volts as the supply, do all the lights come with resistors or do you buy them separately

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi richard Yes all the lights come with resisters supplied with the order but when ordering speak to them on how your going to power them. Peter

[@GreenhillJunction]

Hi. Thanks for the video. Considering doing lighting on my layout for the first time and using Kytes Lights so a wee search brought this up. Like the idea of those connectors, I've been using the Wago connectors which are a similar idea. One question, how many lights can you run off of one transformer?

[@chelmswoodjunction]

at the moment I have one multi voltage adapter running at 3 volts and at the mo I have 26 street platform and depot lights and 4 double led lights all on that one circuit. multi voltage adapter cost me £9.99 from ebay and well worth the money.
