Trial of Analogue Lighting Kit

[@ChapelEndJunctionUK]

Hi Alan , looks better with the liquid paper added . Potentiometer sounds an interesting way , maybe worth a try . ........Peter

Hi Peter. Simple resistor would be easier, but variable might be useful. Your latest video gave a good idea of the brightness I should adjust to (pretty sure you ran a class 37 - I also have the earlier demo you made) My tunnel video is poor, but the liquid paper did help - think I should get a Blue Peter badge. Alan.

Ha ha , yes a Blue Peter Badge definitely .

[@AdiPullen]

Very nice Definitely strong lights Some cracking shots there Sorry my comment not much Keep safe ARP

[@itloon]

Thanks for watching Adi - your comments are always very much appreciated. Alan.

Hi Alan nice job ....I just love them Lima’s ..👌😉....regards as always Fred

[@itloon]

Hi Fred. I've a lot of respect for Lima things and was surprised this kit was available for analogue. (Even more surprised how bright the LED looks on KZbin, like a police helicopter spotlight :) ). Hope Wilbury Castle has got air conditioning :) Thanks again, Alan.

itloon .....Alan searchlights eh looking for fugitives from the castle 😱.......Fred .....

Folklore has it a Mr. Thumper swapped a castle's 1000W searchlights for 40W bulbs, and made a daring getaway. Prison warders were left in the dark.

Hi Alan, a 1K potentiometer would be perfect.

[@itloon]

Thanks Simon - that's very useful. Alan.

[@SimonLivertonCentral]

Very nice, may be a little too bright, could you add a larger resistor to see if you get better results. Sometimes the camera makes things look brighter than they are...Simon

[@itloon]

Good point Simon, because the problem is exaggerated on KZbin when lower light conditions. I was thinking in inserting a potentiometer, adjusting to suit, but never used one before. Alan..

[@howarth004]

Certainly will see that coming down the tracks , should be good in a tunnel using the mobius to capture the light as you showed , the brighter the better ... see and be seen as they say .. surprised the mobius could not handle the brightness though .. Dave

[@itloon]

Hi Dave. Think an oncoming driver will need sunglasses, which is actually the problem. Other alternatives to dimming the LED slightly might be a be a resistor, or adjustable resistor (potentiometer?), or even a concealed piece of paper (Blue Peter). Also, I may get one of those wireless mini cameras you did a video on, to monitor it live. Still too hot to be in loft for any longer than 20 minutes, even with a fan on. Alan.

[@howarth004]

itloon that will be the foxeer camera , maybe a resistor will do the trick ? ...
