Oil lamp locomotive headlight

Is there anyway to get the headlight on an old time engine with the large oil lamps to make a much dimmer glow than what they do now ?

Thanks

Just a guess, but I am thinking you could maybe dim the existing corona in a graphics app, clone the corona and dim the copy, or find a corona on an old loco you like and use that KUID.

JimDep I have an idea, try this Class Light, or one of the incandescent ones as replacement for head lamp, see if it is more dim?

There are 2 effects defining the headlight of a locomotive.
1. The corona visible at the headlight.
-- The color of the corona could be changed in the config.txt using the light_color tag.
-- example for a less bright and more yelloish corona: light_color 192, 192, 96
2. The illumination created by the headlight.
-- This could be modified by a script, using the SetHeadlightColor function.
-- example for a less bright and more yelloish illumination: SetHeadlightColor(0.75, 0.75, 0.375);
-- This function could be added to the Init function of the locomotive.

thank you all ! I will do some experimenting and post back how this worked out.
