Get a string of Christmas tree LEDs. Probably cost you less than $5.

The platform is 4X8 and the houses currently are using C7 bulbs. I want to wire under the platform and not have to drill large holes to put the recept. thru the hole. I was hoping LEDs would provide me with that option. I used to use DC lighting and that worked well but it is no longer available to me. Any suggestions?

You give almost no information and it’s not likely that any of us are lighting experts.

If you’ve got only a few lights to replace that’s very different from a large scale project that’s going to need someone with expertise to design a system that works best.

When you say “train platform” I can envision a tiny platform in a village for which one could just buy some LEDs and screw them in the existing incandescent fixtures to a “Gare du Nord”.

If your project is more than a simple swap out I’d suggest you google around and find a few companies that specialize in lighting design and see what they have to offer.

I have a train platform and am interested in using LED lighting for the buildings…how can I do this and at what cost?

just saw a new study (from NREL? or NRDC?) found LEDs are the cheapest option now. haven’t looked at it in detail yet.

and the real challenge is getting people to go for long-term savings over lower prices at the register.

what about organic LEDs becoming the next gen displays?

More efficient and safer than incandescent or compact fluorescent, what’s not to like? (the price for now but that will change in time)

I just had my bathroom fixed up, and used led strips with frosted glass in front to diffuse the ‘dots’.

Personally I think it’s quite neat, and at circa 48w for 1300 or so lumens, fairly economical.
