LIGHTING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
*The lights are designed to go along the top or bottom edge of rooms and corridors or even at the back of shelves in order to give the effect of LED recessed lighting.

*There are 2 versions of the light included: A SINGLE SIDED version designed to go against walls and a DOUBLE SIDED version that are better suited to go in the middle of rooms. The main difference between he two types is that the 'DOUBLE" sided light has it's light source pointing directly downwards and the SINGLE sided versions light source comes outwards at a 90 degree angle so is ideal to go against walls.

*The system includes a LIGHT and a SWITCH which MUST BE LINKED to work (both 1 prim each at standard size) and is fully scripted to adjust light settings via the menu.

* The switch includes high detail texturing with PBR materials enabled so it has a realistic finish and shine. The textures are also greyscale so you can easily tint to whatever color you want as well as make them less or more metallic looking.

*The system is designed to be as low-lag as possible.It only uses one listener for the whole linkset; this is open only when the menu is in use, and will time-out and shut down if the menu is left open.

*You can stretch to fit the lights to any length.

CONFIGURATION
THE LIGHT
You can rez as many lights as you want but they MUST BE LINKED to the switch to work.
Inside the LIGHT is a configuration notecard called 'Switch Names'. This tells the LIGHT which SWITCH to respond to. So you could have multiple switches that operate different lights all in the same linkset.
Open up the notecard and you will see the names of the two default switches 'GCD - Light Switch TYPE 1' and 'GCD - Light Switch TYPE 2'.
You can change the names of the switches to whatever you want, just enter the names (case sensitive) of the switch or switches to which it is to respond, one name per line. Link the prims up and then RESET THE SCRIPTS. (To reset the scripts: right click and select the linkset and go into edit mode and then from your viewer choose Build > Scripts - Reset Scripts.)

THE SWITCH
There are 2 styles of switch design included in the pack: 'GCD - Light Switch TYPE 1' and 'GCD - Light Switch TYPE 2'. They both work exactly the same. Choose which ever best suits your build.
The switch controls many aspects of the light including: On/Off Radius, Intensity, Color, Falloff and Glow via a drop down menu.

MENU FUNCTIONS

ACCESS
Inside the SWITCH you will see a 'Configuration' notecard. Use this to set who can use the light switch. Choose from Owner, Group or Public. Save the notecard and reset the scripts.

LIMITATIONS
Please remember that in SL you can only see light from 6 light sources at any time. (8 with Advanced Lighting Model, this includes Sun/Moon projections) So if the system is working in other ways, like changing the lights colors, for example but the light source itself is behaving strangely or flickering, try removing some of the lights.
