Ultimately I will be creating a walk-through and would like a couple of specific light fixtures to be "on". The client liked a few specific fixtures and I would like to highlight them a bit. Besides I spent the time building them.....<BR /> I'll try the Lamp material as suggested. <BR /> Thank you.
