"I was thinking some 1.5 grain of wheat bulbs but thought maybe they would be too small? Like I said some suggestions would be good."
A grain of wheat bulb, is approximately 6" in diameter -in HO scale-, and throws a lot more light than a "prototype bulb"....
I wouldn't go any larger, and would use a reflective "shade" above the bulb.
Light, like water, doesn't "scale" well, and is usually too much more than it appears.
Besides, if one of your LPB's stumbles in the reduced light, and falls, I want to know how you got it to walk in the first place !

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
