What’s a good “street light” to use on a mini track? Or just good lighting in general

Bouncing off my last question about how I want to make a race track but I don't know what lighting to do. I don't know if I should do mini street lights or off camera lights

here is a new vid from one of our racers/hosts... it shows what you are asking in both posts.

He shows what he did and it looks great. There are literally hundreds of videos about diorama building on youtube... so many different approaches... you will just need to see what works best in your situation.

Good luck! Keep us posted... we love to see tracks coming together as much as the guys doing the building!

Theres a great selection on fleaBay.    Quite reasonably priced. Usually used for model railroading.
Search the words "S scale street lights".
S Scale is  1:64 scale in model railroading.   HO scale is 1:87

inorder to film, I have a lot of off camera lights

hight power led spotlights (120VAC/plug in)

I am so amazed how much light it takes

scene lights/string lights struggle to put out enough white light
