welcome aboard Bobby the lights you have are fine everyone uses different lights I use mostly C-6 leds and a lot of mini lights I have some C-9s and some C-7s there really isn't any formula I suggest the best lights are the ones that go on sale after Christmas, once you are set up and have a trial run you will see what your display will look like and from there you can add what ever you like good luck and remember to ask lots of questions if you are having trouble lots of great people willing to help out.
