We now have to work on the pilot car. Besides the interior lighting, I would like to have the white and red head lights and maybe light in the cabin as well!
The ESU light strip comes with red LEDs out-of-the-box controlled by F0. There are two other lights:
- Optional front light: For operation in Control/Cab car, as shown in Fig. 5, a white front light can be added. Only white or yellow LEDs with a maximum current consumption of 15mA may be used. A series resistor is already installed. The front light works like the rear light, directionally.
- External load (AUX1): To switch external loads (eg toilet lighting, destination signs, etc.) a separate transistor output with a maximum current of 100mA is available. It is shown in Fig. 6, and is preferably connected to the voltage + U. A series resistor for LEDs is not installed. The U + voltage is not buffered by the power pack and the control to adjust for brightness has no effect.
This is explained in the notice for the ESU light strip: here. So, there's some testing here to be done to have both red/white head lights and the cabin's light.
