(...) If you're going ahead with this, leave it open to anybody who wants to display a MOC in the "dark room". Lit up space, town, sculpture, train, whatever. It's all good. Adrian (20 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

I was kinda leaning towards moonbase but if thier is a lot of people who (...) (20 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) Hrmmm, the trans orange color seems to do *almost* as good, but I agree that the antifreeze green is quite brilliant. Real blacklights would help the effect. Those little UV LEDs are cool, but lack the umph required for groovy effects... Rob (20 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

I'm down with that. I'll do it. Count me in. I'll help. I love lights in MOCs and have many also. Plus the larger idea of having a special room for "Lighted Effects MOCs", well, it's time has come.
