Twilight Design Zonal Lighting System
---------------------------------------------------
Imagine being able to control all the lights on your land with a single control panel (CP) on the wall in your house, (or can also be worn as a HUD). Turn all lights on and off, change their colour, radius, intensity etc.
Imagine being able to create your own lights in seconds with flickering candlelight effects, motion sensors or the ability to come on automatically when it goes dark and turn off when it becomes light.
Imagine how much better your land would look bathed in beautiful coloured lighting.
You just imagined the The TD Zonal Lighting System (ZLS)!
The ZLS is a comprehensive lighting system for enhancing the look of your home and land in SL by letting you create up to 8 'zones' - each one containing as many lights as you wish* and each light located anywhere on your land - whether it's a small parcel or a full-sized SIM.
* In SL, by default only 6 lights can appear to be turned on at once, (it's actually 8 but SL grabs 2 for the sun and moon). To increase this number, 'Advanced Lighting Model' (ALM) can be turned on in the Graphics section of your viewer's preferences (Ctrl+P) after which the number is limited only by your graphics card.
Note: ALM is NOT required to use the ZLS - it just makes ALL lights look better - not just ours!
All the lights can be controlled from a single control panel which can be placed on a wall in your SL home, up on a platform out of the way... or even worn as a HUD as you move around setting up the zones!
Use it on a full SIM to add realistic street lighting over large areas and turn them all on and off with a single click or illuminate windows in office block buildings.
Use it in your store to create mood lighting or set lights to come on automatically at night so visitors with viewers set to Estate Time aren't walking around in the dark!
If you live on a more modest parcel you can use it to simply turn all the wall lights in your house on and off using one zone, control ceiling lights with another zone and add beautiful coloured garden lights with another. The only limit is your imagination...
The CP is Copy permission and operates on one of 6 channels so you can have up to 6 on your land, controlling up to 48 zones. It can control lights instantly anywhere on your land - even up on platforms thousands of metres above or below it.
You can turn zones on and off, change the colour of all the lights in a zone, alter the radius, intensity, falloff and glow as well as turn on special effects like 'Flicker' - to simulate candle-light, 'Sensor' - to make lights turn on when someone walks near and 'Auto' - to turn lights on automatically when it gets dark.
Each of the 8 zones can be given unique names and all light settings can be applied to each zone individually or to all zones - for example, in All Zones mode you can turn every light on your land on or off, regardless of the zones they are in.
*** No lights are included with the Lighting System. ***
Nope... not a single one!
Instead you get a single script that you drop into a standard SL prim that you rez yourself, giving you the ability to create as many lights as you need.
Note: A number of low prim light packs are available for purchase separately - including overhead street lights, path lights, wall lights, floor lights, bedside lights, pool lights and candles etc. - all compatible with the ZLS, though each set can be used with or without the control panel. See Associated Items for more details...
Using the supplied script you can create your own lights that don't need the control panel at all. With it you can turn any prim you rez into a light that you can turn on and off by simply clicking on it.
The CP changes all the lights in a selected zone, but you can use 'over-riders' to lock specific settings in lights so that the CP cannot change them. There are over-riders for all the setting on the CP.
If you rent a parcel on a SIM where you have neighbours, if they also use the ZLS, they cannot control your lights or you theirs. The CP will only talk to lights if the same person owns both the CP and the lights.
For builders, as well as the over-ride facility there are also settings for creating your own lights with lamp shades (brightness and transparency) - allowing them to look more realistic than many lights currently available on SL.
When the light script is updated, you will receive a time-saving Script Updater 'UFO' which updates the scripts in all of your lights automatically.

bought but doesnt work and no response from the merchant or group
I am hopeful they will respond, but as of now, they have not, so I'd caution anyone buying from them. Get in touch with them first or be aware of the possible risk
Good product
It's a good and convenient lighting system. Simple to set up. Due to a recent update there was missing NC but the creator will happily send it if you contact them.
