Make LED Strips?

[Fossilized]

Hello, I'm trying to create my own LED strips and place them in the game. I've done modding before and successfully gotten them in the game, but am struggling to make them glow. The best I had was a round light source, like a light bulb. In unity and blender I changed my light to an area light, and now I'm getting no light in game. How can I make these strips glow as an LED strip would?

Its been awhile, and I'm no expert, but IIRC, area lights dont work in KSP..?? Need to be point or spot...

Oh, that makes sense. Gotta line up some spotlights.

I've seen some LED stip mods before but I believe they didn't actually emit light - they just used an emissive animation so they appeared to glow.
