N Gauge Discussion / Re: LightingLast post by ntpntpntp - Today at 01:58:48 PMThere are loads of cabinet / under-shelf LED lighting units / kits available. Have a look round your local DIY store and lighting shop. Lidl, Aldi etc. have them from time to time.
Here I've used a pair of Livarno units from Lidl on the lighting rig for my loco depot modules. These are proper sealed units with diffusers, mains powered and daisy-chain-able. I have another 4 units ready to replace some old reading lights on my main layout's lighting rig. ![]() A fabric pelmet goes around the outside of the rig at shows. #2
N Gauge Discussion / Re: LightingLast post by PLD - Today at 01:37:01 PMCheapest and easiest install are the mini LEDs that come on a self adhesive roll.
Can be powered by (almost) any smoothed DC supply and if you use a variable supply can be turned up/down to suit. Do experiment with the number of strips and different "warmths" I.e. colour tones/casts, and mounting at different angles to see what works best for your location as background conditions can have a noticeable impact. Our exhibition layouts now generally have 3 or 4 strips including at least one each of a blue tone and a yellow tone all independently variable. #3

Put a few things into the cart and typed in the code. None of my items qualified for the discount. Went back to the email and after reading the EVERYTHING, I missed the selected items part. What a trap! Yep. Very lame. #4

I then deleted everything in the cart. Expecting a BS email about stuff I left there.. #5
