Jeffrey, This is what I'd do for a subway type lighting environment. First, make a flourescent tube and assign it a 100% self illuminating blue-white material. Mostly white. Now, copy it around your subway station, up and down the tunnel etc. Wherever you'd like. This way you'll be able to "see" the light from the bulbs. The shadows they'd cast would hit the ground just like normal lights. You could place spotlights above them (If the ceiling is in the way then turn off its shadow casting attribute with Modify\Object\Attributes). This way you can get shadows from anywhere you'd like. If you've got Inside 3DS reference the chapter on lighting for how to get glows around your lights. Good luck. DM
