I seem to be having problems connecting up LED lighting to one of my platforms.When I connect the other lights go out after about 30 seconds. :?:

Hi
Maybe I can help.
1. Are these lights part of a kit such as Faller makes?
2. Are they hooked up in series or in parallel?

this sounds like an overload problem. make sure to use resistors on each light (live side) and for best results attach up to 10 max lights with each power feed (the 16v side works best) i group my lights in tens with switches to vary the displays.
hope this helps.
