| I used the LED strips from
Small World products at info@smallwolrdproducts.com
Phone:- 01473 735500
They do have a web site but as of yet the LED's are not on there. I just rang them and a very nice man explained it to me. Basically they are on a strip, in multiples of 3, which are self adhesive and I just treated them as I would do traditional lights. I made a groove and threaded the wire out at the back of the wine crate and attached it to a battery pack, which they also sold. I purchased 9 lights and a battery pack for £20 ( I think! it's an age thing!) They are quite bright , a strip of 3 = 2 grain of wheat bulbs.
Hope this helps. |

| Hi Chelle so glad you put up the post about using LED's in you pub. Have been thinking of using them in my planned 1/24th haberdashery shop. Do you think they would be suitable in this scale  |

| Don't see why not. They're very small and discreet. |
