Kato HO scale locomotive LEDS
Posted by joe1965 on Thursday, January 26, 2012 4:28 PM
Does anyone know the voltage output for their LEDS on a typical Kato HO engine? I want to change out the amber ones and install white LEDS. Thanks!

Practically all LEDs operate on a voltage of 2.1 to 3.0 at 15-20 ma, and they are polarity sensitive, so if you connect one backwards it won't work.
