yes.

This is the lighting emission only, to emulate the tube itself, you'll need a constant reflectance material.

Dwight,
It looks really nice.
Can you say how you have made?

Sure.

It is a light cone made large and mushed into the wall.

The details are on pages 68-70 of "LightWorks in Archicad."

Hi Dwight,

I have recreated your scene but I've been trying to experiment on a smaller scale.

I'm trying to create a strip light 'effect' in a groove of a cabinet.

Can your work around to strip lighting work on such a small scale?

Thanks for any advice.

The detailed drawing was like being back in school on microsoft word! haha

My book is certainly NOT sold out and available direct from me - See instructions in my signature.
