Metal Lamp - OO/HO Scale

Metal Lamp for OO and HO scales from Woodland Scenics

A lamp with a metal body and a built-in LED, which the manufacturer dimensioned to suit the British OO scale as well as HO scale. It belongs to the Just Plug system, that is, to the range of finished lights and light sources that are connected on a layout by simply pushing in a plug. A thin lead runs from the lamp, which is passed through a hole in the baseboard and pushed into the hub. Nothing is soldered and nothing is assembled.

How the system works

The Just Plug hub and the power supply are necessary for operation and are sold separately. Every output of the hub has its own brightness control, so you fine-tune the glow of the lamp to the surrounding scene. It is precisely the control that makes the greatest difference on a model: full LED brightness looks hard in a small scale, while dimmed light looks noticeably more believable. An LED practically does not heat up and lasts a long time, so the lamp can be built firmly into a layout.

Where the lamp is useful

• for lighting platforms, ramps and station forecourts
• in yards, parking lots and approach roads to buildings
• in park and urban scenes, where a lit light is to suggest evening activity
• as a complement to further lights of the same system when extending the lighting

Who it is for

For layout modelers in OO or HO scale and for builders of dioramas who want to light a scene without electrical work. It also suits as a first step for someone who is only beginning with model lighting.

Neither the Just Plug hub nor the power supply is included in the package, unless stated otherwise. Run the lead freely so that it is not under tension, and prepare the hole for the lead to pass through the model in advance.
