Chappy Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Recently, I "G-Scale Weathered Brass Lamp 3mm Bulb:12 volt 60mA" from Locomotive Joe on eBay. I plan to use the lamp on a build. Although I have done dioramas before, I am new to lighting. Where can I get a power supply for said lamp. HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamese30 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi Chappy, You've got several options here. You could go force transformer to take a mains supply down to 12v (might be over kill) or what I would do is go for a 9v battery and switch hidden either under the diorama or in something like a chest or behind a wall. That way you can swap or remove the matter easily. Good luck James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Thanks, James! I ordered a 9v battery holder with switch from Amazon. I will place the lamp over my Rat Trikes sign and have the box on the opposite side. However, first I shall work on my sign. You are Steve H are the best!

Steve H Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hi James, check out Evans Designs for LED lighting and switches. They have great products, ideas, and excellent service. I have no affiliation with them other than being a happy customer. Very cool looking diorama. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I built well almost completed a doll house for my daughter and i ran electric to it. They have a tape that can be used in place of wires and it runs to a transfoemer. That was years ago. But hobby lobby used to have all sorts of lighting options.
