This video describes the concepts behind lighting model railroad buildings, cars, towers and other miscellaneous scenes on a model railroad using LEDs. It includes details on a simple dimming circuit tp achieve realistic lighting effects.
In the companion book are shown practical examples for using LEDs and a simple approach to achieving a high density, low cost method for lighting your model railroad.
