FANTASTIC LED Lighting for Model Railroad Layouts

for the church scene, adding lights to the vertical face of the valance would probably work well and require less wiring changes.

Very nice. I like the hot glue idea to pin down the wires

You just solved my problem! Thanks for the great video!

THANK YOU FOR VIDEO

Dear Ron, for your church scene, you could also add a piece of led strip behind the small valence of the light fixture you made. Because of the vertical mounting that will allow for the light to flood more toward the backdrop.
Cool idea for those valence fixtures. Sure makes a lot of difference. Definitely will look for the low temperature hot glue! Cheerio

Those LED strips are a brilliant invention, great to fit into any space that is limited in height. I'm even planning on using them in some of my passenger coaches. I'd love to know who started this strange rumour that you need to wipe the glue to spread it, I promise you the glue will spread over the entire surface once you clamp and screw/nail it. Have a damp rag handy to wipe the excess off, easy. But your choice of course, love how the layout is progressig

Glad to see new video's coming out more regularly again!!

Thanks for the tip. Great way to get additional lighting.

Great Job with simple things ;-) !

hello ron's its is randy and i like yours is cool thanks and led lighting super cool ron's thanks friends randy

I agree, this was a great video. thank you for sharing.

Great video, Ron! I think your lighting solution is not only a great idea, but it looks very professional. I was wondering... do you have plans to do a final wrap-up video for the car dealership in Bowie? I remember enjoying that particular series (I just watched those two videos again this morning) when they first were uploaded. In a weird coincidence, right before you shared those videos, I was planning to use the same structure for a car dealership kitbash. My layout is set in 1970, & I plan on it being an AMC dealership.

You can add a slight wedge under the light to angle it a bit toward the back to more evenly wash. I've done that to great effect

I've thought of using strip led lights, too. However, I'm toying with the idea to use lights that are adjustable in color so that I can adjust them for sunrise, sunset, daytime, or nighttime.

Looking very good Ron !!!!

Good ideas and tips Ron, sure enjoyed this one! (Dave).

GOOD VID

Hi Ron, I enjoy following your layout work and useful tips. One question though; Why dont you use RGB smart lights, allowing you to mix you own night, dawn, day and dusk light settings and control it entirely from an App? (Perhaps apart from the cost issue) Greetings from Denmark :)

Great video and tips for led lighting!
