Questions

How big is the SignalMast ColorLight DualHead PCB?

It measures 12.8 × 47 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SignalMast ColorLight DualHead use?

8 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the SignalMast ColorLight DualHead KiCad files?

From the plocher/Signal-ColorLight-Dual repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SignalMast-ColorLight-DualHead.kicad_pcb and its schematic SignalMast-ColorLight-DualHead.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SignalMast ColorLight DualHead design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask plocher before reusing the design.
