Atlas Dash 8 Question

I have never seen an incandescent lamp glow orange.  IF it had SAW in it the bulbs are powered by the R2LC, so there should be no change?  I would assume they are directional, why wouldn't they be in TMCC environment.   What I do know is the all the Older Atlas I have seen used LED (orange) that show as white. Usually with directional markers too.  But my sample size is small.  G

A couple of my Atlas engine have those orange glow bulbs too, the older ones with EOB.

Head lights should only be on in the direction of movement. I usually turn the switch off for middle or trailing units, or unhook them if there's no switch. Even on the rear of the lead unit, they should be dark... unless of course it's a light engine move.

Thanks guys, I assume the lights were driven from the R2LC on the SAW board too. No telling now as the board was toast. I will probably do the same.

G, just take any incandescent bulb and apply half its rated voltage and notice the color change.

BTW this engine has LED ditch lights but incandescent head/rear light. Pretty sure they were not swapped out at some time.

Wow  Pete, I admire your work but I have to think that LEDs are fairly cheap??? Come on now...... It is the season.....
