I have a 12 X 17 N Scale layout. I use 20 can lights, arranged in a square around the layout. I started with incandescent bulbs, but recently swithed to the new flourescent spiral bulbs in the fixtures, which put out more light and less heat, a great combo! <br /> <br />Right now, I have some in the daylight bulbs, and others in the regular, yellower light. I actually like the looks of the regular light, but understand that for photography, which is coming soon, daylight is better. <br /> <br />Generally, most layouts are under lit, so use a lot of whatever you use!
