small white Lego square blocks, Plastruct pipes and I beams, Super bright warm LEDs that Dale H. had recommended back then.

The Lego blocks are small squares that get the tops cut off and then remade flat with sheet plastic. The I beams are cut and grinded so that they connect the blocks to the pipe ends. The LEDs after wiring are hot glued into the blocks. The LEDs are wired in groups of five in series. So imagine two light poles with 2 lights (wired in series) on each in 2 groups connecting to one light pole that has each light wired to one of those sets. So that extra pole has four wires making it so that it can be wired in series for groups of five total bulbs.

 I did it that way years ago so that it connected directly to my old HO transformer putting out the perfect DC voltage. If I did it now I'd probably use the extra buck boards I have laying around from my pass cars.

 These lights are to represent the modern square LED lights in most parking lots.
