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
