Modern building lights how I did it

I like lights as much as any scenery, if not more. They add so much to the experience. I think they are important and LEDs are the way to go forward. I've dabbled with them and I get sidetracked. I don't finish the job. I have stuff laying around. Our grandson keeps me reminded of that. He has helped keep me on track.

 Each modeler can have their own touch on lighting and it's great to see all these ideas. Your building lights look great!

Eric, Great job and thank you so much for sharing on how you did it! I might be picking your brain down the road if you don't mind? I have a lot of stuff I want to change to LED's!

Nice work and thank for sharing .

I have taken all my buildings and MTH flood lights and changed and added many more 12volt leds, mostly exterior lights. They really add a lot.

Eric, where do you find most of your light fixtures! Or do you build them yourself?

found them on Ebay. Found that the HO/OO size looked best (my opinion). The vendor is we_honest 

12 x OO / HO street bracket LED light model wall Lamp post + resistor #R46BG (these are green)

5 x OO / HO scale street bracket light model wall Lamp posts LED building #R62BL (these are black)

The lights on the front are the black style and the single light on the side is the green.

Beautiful work Eric!!
