ok ,im trying to light my layout structures up ,i have a few buildings and some shantes i want to light up .i bought some lights from lhs ,but they sell 2 in a pack for like 5.50 .i want to build a city street where alot of buildings would be lit up ,does anyone sell a bigger pack .the ones i got are kinda strong would like some a little weaker ,would also like to find some amber in color ,for some reason .i think it looks more realistic .i tried a small set of xmas lights ,of amber color ,wired in both sereies ,and parrell .the parrell blow right off the bat .the series ones last about a day .could keep messing around with that ,but thought maybe someone has better product ,or idea .im really new at this .
IHC has them much cheaper:

These are tall incandescents, and probably need to be baffled a bit, but they’re a buck a piece, including mounts and pigtail wiring.
Edit - sorry, search for “structure light” to find it. They don’t link directly to individual products, I guess.
