    Help with wiring

    Wiring my dio for the GB & need to know whats the best way.

    [ATTACH]78594.IPB[/ATTACH]

    It will be running off 12v scalextric power unit so there will be no power drain,
    it seems to be brighter with the top diogram but is this the right way to do it.

    Thanks

        Hi John,

        I will go with the first one, all lamps directly at 12V they would shine brighter as the second one.

        Cheers Richi

            Yeah, I'd run them in parallel rather than in series. That way if you have one go the others won't stop. So option A.

              Yep, A seems the way to go. As Joe points out if one fails then they will carry on working.
