Hi Canuck,

Your light looks good. :grin: Did notice the sequence and we have not shopped around for a device yet. Started striping some of the paint yesterday before messing with other projects around here. Will try cleaning the parts some more today.

Cheers!

Green - yellow - red - red & yellow - green.

I have my Plessey sequencing that way too with a custom sequencer from Lights To Go. :grin:

Nitpicky type question -- maybe it's just the camera angle, but are the visors on your Plessey correct? If I'm not mistaken they should be angled-off-cutaway instead of tunnel?

They came in both flavors - tunnels and cutaways. :thumbsup:

Generally they should cycle at least 8 seconds red
followed by fixed 2s red-amber overlap
a green period of not less than seven seconds
and finally a green-amber overlap of a fixed time of 3 seconds.

Joez Garage set me up with one a long time back.

Hi Folks,

We like the sequence some of you have explained and shown on videos of these Plessey Tin Lanterns. Ordered a TS-12 sequencer from TS Controls for this light. We have the same unit in our CH Deco 4-way for most of the past year and it has held up well. By what I have read, this unit will run the proper sequence and order of the signals.

Cheers!

Mine came with the tunnel flavor. It belonged to my barber and hung in his shop until he moved locations.

When I ordered my custom sequencer from Lights To Go, I had it programmed using the advice of collector Willis Lamm who also has a beautiful Plessey like Jerry's. http://www.kbrhorse.net/signals/uk_seq.html
