Using SBS4DCC.com Light Kits with DC Power

I am frequently asked if our kits will work with traditional DC power sources.

The short answer is, Yes!

We are now offering a DC option for all of our DCC-Friendly kits that maintains constant light intensity through the entire throttle range.  The boards will light initially at 1.5V and maintain constant brightness through the entire throttle range.

To order the DC option, simply select the DCC-Friendly model that fits your application and choose the DC Power Option before adding the item to your shopping cart.

Be sure to check out our DC LED Power Supply too!

This is a DC compatible version of our popular DCC LED Power Supply that can be used for constant brightness and non-directional lighting projects.  Best of all, they will work with traditional 1.5v grain of wheat bulbs too, if that's how you roll. 

They are the perfect solution for powering Tomar Industries Marker Lights, Drumheads and similar lighting projects.

About Control Source Options

Our feature rich design means each board is highly configurable.

One of the most important features is the multiple choices available for controlling the lighting.  The control type determines the compatability of the power source and whether the lights can be turned on and off.

Generally, you can only choose one type of control.

Control Source

DCC-Friendly - DC or DCC power source, no on/off control

DCC-Friendly with Magnetic On/Off Switch - DC or DCC power source, magnetic switch for on/off control

DCC Decoder Ready - DC or DCC power source, requires DCC decoder for on/off control, decoder sold separately and installed by customer

DCC Decoder Installed - DC or DCC power source, requires DCC decoder for on/off control, decoder sold separately and installed by SBS4DCC

DC Power Option - DC or DCC power source, no on/off control, minimum 3.5V input for constant brightness

Note - When choosing the DCC Decoder Ready option, the board has a set of through holes for attaching a hardwired decoder.  One decoder function is required to control the interior lights.  There are through holes for connecting up to three additional functions.  These through holes are connected to solder pads conveniently located at each end of the board to allow easy connection of "off-board" lighting features such as marker lights, drum heads, end-of-train lights, and such.

Adjustable Brightness

The kits ship with dimming resistors already installed.  In addition, the brightness can be adjusted to taste using the on-board trimming pot.

Also Available From SBS4DCC.com...

Also available from SBS4DCC is the Kato Pickup Connector Strip for use in adapting the kits to Kato N Scale passenger cars. 

The Kato Pickup Connector Strip slips in between the pickup rail floor of Kato passenger cars to provide a convenient methed of connecting the existing pickup system in Kato cars to any track powered light kit.
