[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CNW Jay Yeah so the other night was looking through my catoulge of light bulbs, and i found this new thing, an LED, i'm thinking of replacing all my light bulbs with them. but then again, I wish someone would shed some light on this for me. [/quote] Oooh! Oooh! I can help with this one! The proper term is LEAD lights, so please call them by their proper name. [:(!] LEAD lights are made of lead, hence the name LEAD lights(duh). The electricity flows through the lead bulb creating heat, which by the way is an exellent way to keep them firmly possitioned in the locomotive. Be very carefull when handling them after extended use as they may become a little soft. Anywho, as the name implies they do give off light, however I have found it to be a little too redish for my tastes. It takes a long time for them to actually give off any light, but after they "warm up" they do get pretty bright. They are cheap, so stock up on them. I'll let someone else go into the installation instructions. Well?
