NEW LGB DECODERS

[TONYWARD50]

i HAVE RECENTLY ACQUIRED AN LGB TRACTOR 24410, SIMILAR TO THE 21410 AND I WANT TO REPLACE THE ONBOARD DECODER WITH A SOUND UNIT SUCH AS ESU. THE DECODER FITTED IS DIFFERENT TO THE OLD ONES AND IS LABELLED MLGB145056.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHETHER THE VOLTAGE TO THE LIGHTS FROM THIS UNIT IS 5V OR FULL TRACK VOLTAGE, AND IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ?
I HAVE REPLACED OLDER CHIPS IN OTHER LOCOS.

I CANT FIND ANY TECHNICAL INFO ANYWHERE ON WEBSITES.

THANKS

As per most decoders, I would expect the light voltage to be controlled by a CV setting.

Normally, for LGB & Massoth decoders, the "dimming value" for lights is CV50 and for full track voltage the CV will be set to 32, for 5v the value will be 5, 6 or 7.

output_volts = cv_value * track_voltage / 32

Closest match I can find on Champex-Linden's LGB database is 27410. The Instructions for this indicate it uses 5V bulbs.
