Adding LEDs

[Golden_Glow90]

I have recently bought the Sydney Opera House and have it on display in the lounge. I really want to add LED lights to show it off in the dark as the opera house itself looks amazing lit up. I saw someone on YouTube who had made the street lamps light up around the outside but it doesn't show you how it's done. What sort of LED lights would I need to buy in order for them to fit inside the tiny street lamps and how would I hide the wires? Would you buy battery or mains operated ones?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spent ages Googling but can't really find what I want. I'm also from the UK so they have to be supplies I can buy here.

well, while i can't suggest suppliers over in uk, but any model railroad shop may help.

but for street lamps at lego specs, you pretty much need to go smd 0402, the are the smallest about i've found then you'll need to also run either magnet wire or the smallest wire you can find. small enough and you can run it down the poles center, and most magnet wire can slip between bricks without bother.

but given the amount you'll want, you'll need to use a wall socket to provide enough voltage and amps, so once you've decided on how many leds, you'll have to calculate how many and type of resistors (there online calcs for that).
