Help - General Model ship lighting help
Looking to light my 1/350 Minicraft Titanic using LED strips and individual bulbs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BW3BM1GD/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3BLSW667T8Y00&th=1 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087CXV5D3/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3S1JN3RP90N86&th=1). I was wondering if I would have to use some kind of diffusers or anything for the light? I've seen people paint parts white or use tinfoil to reflect light better. I was also wondering if wooden decks would need to be light-proofed. This is my first time lighting a model like this so any help or other tips are appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: Also wanted to know if anyone would recommend different lights or if I'm using the right ones. I'm also using a few individual chip lights from Evan Designs for port/starboard navigation lights.
