    Is it possible to use atlas selectors for contolling lights on buildings and such with a DCC layout. If So how can I do it. I found instructions for DC but I haven't been able to get them to wotk with DCC.

    Are these lamps (or LED's) for interior lighting?

    No problem. Doesn't matter if it's a DC or DCC. Use a separate supply like the accessory terminals of a spare DC power pack (or dedicated supply) and connect ~ or + to the common (bussed) side of the selector on terminals A or B - your choice if you want the switch up or down for on - and then on the switched side of the selector connect to one side of your lighting circuits.
    With the com or - side, you can return them back to the power pack directly from the lights.

    If you're stuck or confused I can provide a diagram. Note - ~/com refers to AC, +/- to DC voltage. Either can be used for lighting dependant on the lamps being used.
