Interior lights circuit question

By the time we got our route master much was missing and some bits not working. My concern at the moment is the top deck lights. Question is, on a non altered bus, do the interior lights on the top deck work on the same switch as the ones on the bottom. Reason I ask is, I'm trying to locate where the top deck lights feed from. the neon booster system behind the love seat, has now been removed, as it was totally shot. I intend to install LEDs. I have already replaced the old set on the ground floor with LEDs and it looks great. Also while we are here, any clues on how best to run a cable from the top deck to the battery bay would be really helpful. As ever, thanking you in advance for sharing.

My bus number (if any): RCL2259

Re: Interior lights circuit question

The light circuits on the RCL are sided, not by deck. The switches operate one side of the bus only. If you have the whole lower saloon on, then someone has modified the system, which means you should get a professional bus electrician, like Dave Kriesler for example to look at it.

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RMC 1458, RM 1585 and several RTs
