These are LED lights while the others are bulbs. Some lights can only be had in LED versions. Generally the bulb versions are often older models and relatively clumsy. Yes, the LEDs are bright, and even brighter in the photo than in real life. They also appear very bright because the area over the station tracks and the street in front of the town have no lights yet. I do want to have the area around the tracks where switching takes place lighted quite well to keep the option of running a night time operations session at some point.
