It's not only the interesting information you bring to us but also the miles of smiles on your face. Fun to watch you Martin. Thank you very much for your efforts and keeping it FUN to RUN ! All the best..

Very interesting stuff. Something that also is worth considdering is the use of DMX-controlled RGB(W) fixtures. Wich are available today for very reasonable prices. It's best to use RGBW fixtures, because they have not only Red, Green and Blue to mix your colours, but also Warm white, so you can create any kind of mood that way.

This is exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you!

Hi, Martin. I must say, I love this video. It if very thorough and contains useful information. I have watched if a few times. I am also referencing it and linking it in my new video about installing my own layout lighting. Thanks for the great work.

Martin, great video as ever. Could you perhaps ad a diagram which depicts what you have placed where? And some pictures or short video to see what your actual set up is. TIA

A great video and information -- thank you! And I appreciate your light humor!

A very informative video. I have learnt a lot and will be shielding my LED bulbs [same size as the old tungsten ones] as you suggest. Barry.Devon.

Martin...Thank you, thank you, thank you...long time coming but sooo worth the wait...thank you, thank you and thank you!!

Martin, you are an excellent source of information for us train tragics, thank you!

I found this very illuminating.So many aspects to this I had not considered.I am working in garage,under stairs and in basement studio with poor lighting.Thankyou for another great video,and keep up the humour

That was AWESOME! You were very complete in your explanations. Thank You!

Great description of a very mysterious and complicated topic for a modeler and layperson. It's all based on the physics of light. Thanks!

great going to start working on ur views on lighting.

This video was full of so much good information. Thank you.

Hallo Martin! another awesome Video!!

Top, clever, clear … as usual

oj vad man lär sig om ljus och det inom modelljärnväg, jättebra!

Very helpful video on a subject it seems few modellers seem to properly address to show off their handiwork to maximum effect. Thanks for the background info on the LED terminology and your personal experiences. It is certainly worth while experimenting on layout lighting. Perhaps worth also mentioning trying the LED combined dimmable and adjustable angled units to optimise settings. Stephen

Hi Great video, something not many people think about. Thanks Paul

excellent. Thanks again

ich mag Ihre Videos sehr

Daylight is 5600K, fluorescent 3800K, bulbs 2800-3000K. Usually you find the value in your camera settings

Well done summary about lights, only the RGB LED for night and transition are missing. Switching to LED is on my todo list. About photo, I use one or more strobes, as they are a lot more configurable than any layout light (like change the strength and direction of the shadows).

Really well explained

Thank you for breaking down an important subject for model railroaders and anyone doing photo or video work. So would you recommend a soft light tube by the middle or back of the layout and a more directed led strip or spots at the front of the layout?

Thanks to explain illumination.. and thank you very much for your time and efforts to share your knowledge and experiences with us. For me.. a view drawings could be helpful on this subject.. especial when talking about different lights and angels so the shadows are right. Could you let us know what for equipment you use for the illumination of your layout. It seems they are also used in building sites or construction area where they needs lots of lighting. Thanks and greetings from the Netherlands!!

typ av ljus kanske också är bra att tänka på för strålkastare på/i tågen. vad kan vara lämpligt till loken i olika epoker och inuti vagnarna?

Poderia fazer este tutorial em espanhol!?

This time I will use woodprix instructions to make it easy with my own hands.

First :D
