The dimmer can also be installed in the on the bottom of your cars in the spaces provided by LGB and the dimmer control can be mounted in the vertical cylinder on the bottom of the LGB car so all items are totally hidden and sealed from the weather. Instructions show the mounting options.

It provides over 93% efficient power conversion as apposed to linear voltage regulators used by other manufactures which waste over 500% of your power in heat. This low profile voltage power source can be placed next to the dimmer in either mounting positrons and allows the SL-LED-12-Kit to be use with ANY source of power.

SL-LGB-R2SPC LGB round mini-banana to square type connector adapter for use with round style lighting connectors that need to plug into newer locos that require the square power connector.
