Bill, No need to burn things out and buy lots of useless resistors. There are lots of Resistance Calculators on the web. They are more for LED's but as long as you know the current draw (in milliamps) of the 1.5 volt lamps, you should be okay. Try these sites. I use them for electronics class work and DCC installations all the time. I prefer light bulbs over the LED's. The still give that lamp appearance. http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz http://home.cogeco.ca/~rpaisley4/LEDcalc.html http://www.luxeonstar.com/resistor-calculator.php cheers, Andy Malette www.mlwservices.ca Yahoo!
