So an "old" interior lighting consisting of two bulbs would be 2,4 VA. I know that LEDs are more economical, but I guess there are several LEDs on each kit. And you also need two kits for most waggons. So how many VAs do two of the new lighting kits from Märklin "consume"? /Torbjörn And which is the word I'm looking for when I write "consume"? [8)]
