Self-Illuminating Materials

I created a modeled-in-place component which I assigned to the category "lighting devices".  The material I assigned was a self-illuminating one, and it lights up like a dying star.  However, it does not cast any light on its surroundings.  Why doesn't it, and how can I get it to cast light?  It seems useless to have an option to "self-illuminate" where it literally just glows without lighting effects, and then have a SEPARATE option to actually make a light for real this time.

Want Light? Use a Light Source.  Self-Illumination is not one.

I understand that, but how do you make a light source that is not one of the predefined standard shapes?  If I'm using an embedded strip fry-reglet that rounds 90 degree corners as a band, is there a way to do this easily?  I've found that making a family for each and every band is very time consuming (this is just a concept package)

You can create a shared family with a linear light source, nest it in your fry reglet family, copy it to make the L.

You want something like Rope Lighting?

 

 

...additionally, you could do rope lighting using an Adaptive Divided Line with a Light Source "Repeater". That make sense?  

 

..You can find quite a few Revit Families of this type by Googling it.
