I need to represend some LED inside or with-in a building skin "fabric"
I was thinking of using the maxingo scatter tool to scatter some small round spheres with a log segment count. These spheres would have an Emitter matrial with different colors assignet to them?

Would this work?

The alpha shouldn't take the long to "cook" correct?

I noticed my renders are showing a sky. I there a way to get black or white backdrop for easy compositing or just for the sake of having a white of black backdrop?

The trick is that I still need eviroment lighting and sun.

Thanks, Im going to try to solve the issues with 2.2 then upgrade to 2.4 in efforts of "knowing"
Thanks for your reply.

oh wow, so I wonder what happens if I change the intensity values or other parameters (of the light). Maybe they just get ignored.
