Let there be light!
I wanted to ask if anyone has added lighting to their buildings other than the already available Sylvanian lighting. I was toying with the idea and wondered how straight forward a task it would be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Let there be light!
I don't know that much about lighting other than dollhouse sized lights which have a scale of 1:12 and are smaller than Sylvanian scale, if I remember correctly. Here are a few links that will give you an idea of what's involved....

BTW, I Googled "how to wire doll houses for lights" to get these results. I have not done this myself, though.

Re: Let there be light!
Ahh thanks Beverly, I have taken a quick look at all four and the latter one seems the most informative, I will endeavour to study them all at length. I will have a House on the Hill to decorate for my daughter after Christmas and may use this as my 'guinea pig'.
I feel a Winter project comming on.....

Re: Let there be light!
Unfortunately, I have a lot on my plate at the moment, but fully intend to have a go at this lighting thing and anything else decorating wise.
I know some of you may view it as sacrilege and prefer to see the buildings bare  but each to their own as they say.
I will definately post photographs once I have completed a conversion with lighting. 
If anyone has done any building renovations then I would love to photos and also post them on my web site.
