Yes - I agree with mcouvillion - the best way to change the bulbs is to not HAVE to change the bulbs. <br /> <br />Running a 12V bulb at 8 or 9 V will GREATLY increase its lifespan. I also prefer the slightly orangey-yellow light from a bulb running dim, rather than the bright white of a full-power bulb. <br /> <br />It will also help keep the light from shining through the sides of the buildings, if they are slightly translucent. <br /> <br />You could also try white (or Golden White) LEDs. They are more expensive, but they produce almost no heat ,and last for a long, long time. <br /> <br />Rob
