I need help with lights in my layout room

I also considered rope lighting, but their light is very yellow, and dim unless you run a lot of them, too.

The blue ones might work for night lighting, though.... anyone tried that?

Ah, I was wondering if anyone would bring up rope lights. I've been following this thread with interest as I will soon reach the point where lighting/valance construction should begin. My layout will have 2 decks with about 18" between them and roughly the same clearance up to the valance.

I thought rope lights (with dimmers for night effects) might work for me but I'd hate to have to string 20 strands of them to avoid the partial solar eclipse look. Anyone have more feedback on the use of rope lights?

Thanks a lot for your review of the Chroma 50 bulbs. It seems that you made a good investment. And it's very cool that you too like Rio Grande. The information you just gave me is VERY useful to me. I will install the Chroma 50 too. Thanks a lot my Rio Grande friend. [bow]
