[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole In my opinion, grain of wheat bulbs would be way too big and bright for use as a step light. Fiber optic strands between the headlight and steps would probably be more appropriate in both illumination and size. There are bulbs smaller than grain of wheat, too. Grain of rice bulbs, for example. And some that are even smaller than that -- the 1.5 volt bulbs that Athearn uses in their newer Genesis locomotives. Unfortunately, no one but Athearn seems to have bulbs as small as these. [/quote] The only problem with these bulbs is their life. The small 1.5 volt bulbs have a life of 500hrs or less.
