AntonioFP45 I looked into the mini floresent lights at first. [url="http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=320100&type=store"]All Electronics[/url] sells the lamps and drivers also. However, they're too large in diameter for my needs and I would need 16 - 8" and 8 - 4" bulbs and 12 inverters to drive them! Cost about $214.24! I also experimented with fiber optics, but they don't shine enough light from the sides. I did find that if I shined the end of the fiber through clear resin, the resin glowed. The resin isn't pure like the glass fiber. I think It will work. My idea to light them is to assemble several of them end to end and use that as a master to make a mold. Then I'll cast it in clear resin. Here's the interior of the building I'm modeling. [img]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/968628/LUBEBLDG.jpg[/img]
