Herpa Lighting sets
Hi, I was wondering if anyone here had purchased the herpa lighting sets and if so what they are like and how you actually fit them into your airport.
thanks

 Anyway it seems to be a wonderful system. The point is to drill hundreds of 1 mm holes in the base, and fit the fibre from underneath and secure it with a drop of glue. The LED-boxes are equipped with hi intensity LED's in blue, green, white and Red. One box with static lights and one box with blinking and sequnsed lights. One LED-socket can hold up to 25 fibres. When it comes to the Apron lights, I do find them a bit ugly, so I ordered lights in z-scale (1:220) from Viessmann in stead. They do not have the "plug and play" system as Herpa's, but at least they look realistic. |

I think herpas Lighting, even though it is very good, is a tad on the expensive side.

I have already used some fibres and as sasmd90 said, it is very hard to drill hundreds of 1 mm holes in the base and fix the fibres from underneath. But in the end it looks amazing and it has been worth all the work.
I have attached some photos to give you some impressions of how it looks like.

That does look amazing. I have always wanted to add lighting to one of my airports and never have. But this looks great.
