Carl,
The description indicates it will light up any time there is 3 or move volts of track voltage.
- Does the unit light up the ditch light as you apply track power?
- This appears to be a DC installation, you are not wiring this to a DCC engine, are you?

No Jim Its Just DC Engine,And Yes They light up only at full thoddle though .
Carl,
Most of the ‘diode packs’ I have built to power headlights are wired in ‘series’ with the motor. Maybe this unit has some special electronics and needs to be wired across the motor. Are there any circuit boards/electronics with the stock engine that might be interfering with the ditch light unit? P2K units many times have a light board wired in series with the motor for the constant lighting…
