[SML] UIplighting floor

[Stephen Litterst]

I've seen this done with Christmas lights, too. Get some pegboard and 
put one light up through each hole to keep them neat and organized.  If 
you have the time, get strings of solid green, red and blue lights and 
intersperse them in the pegboard.  Now you can color mix each panel.

Heat dispersion will be more of an issue than with LEDs, so plan for 
some air circulation.
