Lighting

Again, I'm possibly getting ahead of myself thinking about lighting for Rospeath Lane. Though I've also been thinking I might need some sort of light for the SolRail exhibition in a week's time. 

The ultimate aim is to introduce a little atmosphere into the layout by having lighting with which I'll be able to replicate a day from dawn to dusk. So, as a start, I've purchased 5M of CCT LED strip lighting with a temperature range of 2700 to 6500 Kelvin. If I'm understanding the description correctly, I'll be able to control the lighting temperature while also controlling the brightness of these LEDs. My belief is the colour temperature at dawn is around 2000-3000 Kelvin, rising to midday at around 6000 Kelvin, then decreasing back to 2000 Kelvin for sunset. 

These LEDs are relatively cheap to some that are available and as such might not give the best result. Even so they should help to prove the concept and allow me to experiment while construction of the layout continues. Just hope they arrive in enough time to be installed for SolRail.
