How about a transistor? I’m trying to think of a reason to raise the current for lamps.  :o

I don't use LED's. I model the 1960's and the LED lights just don't look right. An incandescent bulb to me better matches the prototype.

On the left is my r/c battery (not RP) Stewart F3 with warm white LED headlight. Looks good to me.

Alan:
The F3 headlight does look good.

There is considerable spectral difference between LEDs and incandescent lamps so one will never look like the other. Whether or not either is good enough is a personal choice.

Here is a good explanation of the differences in light output: https://www.comsol.com/blogs/calculating-the-emission-spectra-from-common-light-sources/. The graphs make it obvious they are two very different light making animals.

That is a good looking light. Does it have the 'hard' LED on/off characteristics or does it soft light like a bulb?
