4. Operating Instructions (Remote Version)

The Remote Version of the LightGo LED Lighting Kit comes with an RC module, allowing you to independently control the lights of each branch (section) of your Lego train model. This provides granular control over the lighting effects.

Key Features:

• Warm White Illumination: Warm white lights are used inside the train to illuminate the interior evenly.
• Front Headlights: The front headlights are designed to imitate the original vehicle's lighting.
• Roof Smoke Simulation: Increased roof smoke is included to simulate realistic vehicle operation.
• Independent Control: Remote control allows for independent on/off and brightness control of different light groups.
