Here is an example of the misuse of hobby lights. Waaaay too bright. Extreme light can even be seen thru the walls and cracks in assembly. A streetlight pole this bright would light up 8 city blocks!! I can't do it. It too unrealistic for me...

that I agree with
well when I do that I'll use dimmer ones
besides it helps to PAINT the interiors a darker color so the light doesn't show thru the walls & stuffs

Painting the interior still lets light thru even using black. I found that using black electrical tape blocks the light completely. I seriously believe that the bulbs that come with poles/billboards are plenty bright enough without the hassle of messing with them...
