Joe, <br /> <br />To see if I understand this correctly. The bulb is limiting the load to two amps or less per district or block. This will limit my locomotive loading to keep under the two amp "current limit". This means that I will have to have smaller districts than I might have if I were to be using 5 amp boosters as seperate power districts. My payoff is that the bulbs are quite a bit cheaper than boosters or breakers, will achieve the same effect and I can limit my shorting shutdown to very small areas. Roughly how many bulbs are on your layout and how are the laid out in terms of trackwork vs bulbs (ie. more for yards etc???)
