Hi everyone,  I am hoping to use a DZ-1070 trackside sensor to operate a two aspect signal from E-bay vendor, “WE Honest”.  Pre-testing has given me a puzzle.  Testing with a Lionel 1033 transformer, using the accessory posts.  The signal lights when wires attached to the accessory posts.   The sensor sends 10 volts to first the white wire and then the gray wire as expected using the sensor.  When I attach the signal wires to the output wires of the sensor they do not light, however.  I confirmed that both the white and gray output wires from the sensor show 10 volts AC, alternately.  What am I missing?

Wehonest lights are usually DC power, not AC.  I have similar signals that I know are DC powered, is the one you purchased listed as AC powered?
