I am planning to buy some LEDs from Layouts4u. Would appreciate advice on which shade LEDs to use.

1. Lighting for Bachmann MK1 Maroon coaches Warm white, Amber, or Bright light

2. Led strip to go under Metcalfe service centre canopy. Bright white, Warm white

Thanks for your input.

Hi David

Warm white represents Filament lamp lighting (Bulbs). It is a warmer and a softer level of illumination and more representative of 1940 to 1980 illumination.
White/Bright White generally is representative of more modern fluorescent or LED lighting.
