I haven't done any motorizing, but I have done lighting. I use the 9v system
as opposed to L&S stuff, and it works fairly well, the only problem is that
it's a bit dim. However, with a red cap (as comes in one of the service
packs) they work well as 'glow' from a fireplace. I use them behind stoves,
and underneath fires. A fireplace piled with red & orange trans- 1x1's looks
really cool with a light behind it.
I'm considering tracking down another battery pack, to see if that makes a
difference in the dimness, cause I've got ~8 or 9 running off one pack.
