I have to confess that I cheated on the lights a little bit. I actually made two images. One that was covered in the lights and another that was plain. The lights were created by speckle painting a black square and then cutting black strips into it to give it the decking look. I then tiled that 4X4 in the glow channel along with the grey/grey squares for the sides. The center equatorial trench lights are actually spots in the glow channel. After I had both images, I used a linear fill in the mask channel usin paint shop pro for post processing to bleed the lit image into the unlit image.
