I thought that I had seen a thread here that talked about illuminating an object form the inside like a light blub.
I can't find it. Is there a way to make a lighted blub. I tried to put the light in a tube set the materials to a gray glass.
That did not work right.

I did. I also tried some smoked glass. then just glass and gave it color.
What I'm trying to do is make a red, green or amber led behind smoke gray poly.
I can get the led color by changing the light.
It just don't look like the light is coming from the led. I have use point, distance and spot.
I maybe looking at it wrong for I looked over the web and don't seem to be the only-one looking to do something like this. 
SO HEEEEELP.

If you can find the name of that book I would look for it on the web.
 Got to go for the weekend I will look back Monday.

Thank you John they a have it at amazon when I get home tonight I will see if I can get it through Minnesota State. I also noted that he has some newer ones.
This command really helped the look of the light put into a glass bulb. "LIGHTINGUNITS <2>: 0"
Still reading on this setting and playing with it.
Again Thanks.

Did you come across any quotes from the Bible yet?  Did you find the one I mentioned previously?  I wasn't kidding now was I?

I'm glad to hear the book was of some use to you.  I have not looked at your drawing yet but will do so soon.

You're welcomed.
