When powering LEDs always set your output voltage to the maximum LED forward voltage (3.1 volts for Shourt Line warm white LEDs)
Never connect more than one power source to the input.
Never connect a power source to the output.
Clean the surface with an alcohol wipe prior to using the 3M adhesive pad included with many models of the Precision Throttle and LED controller.
Provide adequate ventilation when powering over 2 amps or 10 watts of load
Not a toy; keep out of the reach of children, can cause choking due to the small size.

How does it work?

All Shourt Line Precision Throttles and LED controllers feature a DC to DC converter operating at high frequency to efficient convert input power to any desired voltage lower than the input voltage. It stays cool because of the micro size high frequency inductor and regulator IC that provides fully regulated output voltage regardless of variations in input voltage or output load changes. Large capacitor provide stable output voltage. A buffer capacitor may be added to the DC input to provide un-interrupted power when input power is not present.

Power 1 to 300 LEDs with up to 94% efficiency for cool operation, no wasted power!

Use 1 Shourt Line Precision Throttle & LED Controller to power dozens of our SL LED drop ceiling lighting fixtures on Analog and/or DCC track power:

SL 9137230 Kit 35 LED 3 Drop Ceiling Lighting + 2 Red LEDs PIKO Long Pass DC&DCC requires SL 8453003

This Piko 37622 DB IV Silver Coin Coach 2 Class City-Bahn shown above is both Analog and DCC ready with an SL-8453003 LED Controller powering the SL-8133230 31 LED drop ceiling fixture that uses parallel LED wiring without dropping resistors + two Amber LEDs in the toilets and 2 Red LEDs in the tail lights. The red lights at the front of the car may also be lighted with red LEDs if desired.

Piko 37622 passenger car above is fully dimmable with 37 LEDs yet draws only 80ma with 22 volts of track power, or about the same current as 1 LGB 5 volt bulb with the same track voltage. Works with DCC track power at up to 94% efficiency and is still works efficiently with full brightness at only 6.5 volts of analog track power. The lights stay on for 1 second with a 6.8KuF capacitor for flicker free operation or over 40 seconds with no track power using the Shourt Line SL-6102104 Mini Gold Cap Buffer -perfect for analog users.

This is the same car with the PIKO LED lighting kit installed. The kit uses 14 LEDs along the center of the car is not voltage regulated, has no dimming ability and at 22 volts of track voltage has 25% the light of the SL-8133230 but at twice the amperage (power). At 22 volts the car reaches full brightness (shown above) and dims as track voltage is lowered as in analog operation as there is no voltage regulator with the PIKO lighting board and the use of a dropping resistor at each of the 14 LEDs wastes power. Click here to view how to install the PIKO P 36132 lighting kit.

This is a common problem with all other lighting products today. Because a white LED uses only about 3 volts but the track voltage can be as high as 22 volts, the difference between 3 and 22 volts or 19 volts is wasted as heat. This is booth inefficient, 19/22 or 86% of track power goes up in heat, and when track power is say lowed to 6 volts at slow train speeds with analog power the output of the light is reduced by (22-6)/22 or 73% while each dropping resistor still wastes power. Because most other lighting products only light a strip along the center of the car they create uneven lighting, particularly in the seating areas and at the same time they over light the center isle where the LEDs as located. The SL-8133230 31 LED 3 Drop Ceiling Lighting fixture also provides two Amber Toilet LEDs and 2 Red LEDs for the tail lights. Additional LEDs may be added by you at any time by simply wiring in parallel to the existing LEDs. One SL-8133230 can power as many as 12 passenger cars with SL-8133230 31 LED drop ceiling fixtures installed.

Prior to the induction of the Precision Throttle and LED controller we at the Shourt Line had to versions of each lighting product; one for DC (analog) uses and one for DCC users. This was necessary in order to efficiently at low track voltage and high track voltage respectively. We now have a version of drop ceiling lighting boards for use with the new Precision Throttle and LED controller that is the only product that can work efficiently with both low and high track voltage.

The micro size allows the Shourt Line Precision Throttle & LED Controller to fit between the drop ceiling and car roofs or can be mounted inside or under cars. For outdoor under car mounting use our weather proof SL- 8552403 Weatherproof model.

Simplify all your loco, car and layout lighting!

Flicker Fee LED powering: All models of the Shourt Line Precision Throttle and LED Controller have build in buffers, for more than 4 LEDs simply add a capacitor to the IN+ and IN- outputs for flicker free lighting. Use a 25V or higher Electrolytic Capacitor; 50uF/LED, (30 LEDs = 1,500uF, 300 LEDs use a 15,000 uF capacitor) To keep your LEDs working when a train stops on analog track power use 500uF/LED/second of operation; Use the SL-6102104 Mini Gold Cap Buffer 2.5 Farad 10.7 Volt -UPS (shown below) for analog power and 20 minutes/LED of operation.

The SL 8453003 + SL-6102104 Mini Gold Cap Buffer can keep the buffer many SL drop ceiling lighting boards (order the versions shown at the top of the page) for up to 2 minutes with no track power.

Run a loco, tram or trolley via an Massoth, PIKO or LGB auto-reverse module using the SL-8453003 to set the speed and power from any source up to 30 volts!
