Okay, this is a beeper here...on Matt's behalf...the light from a stoplight
is -NOT-, please read this, is -NOT- Elemental Light. Sure it's light, but
-NOT- elemental. It's artificial lighting. Anything made by a technological
means of lighting, regardless of the souce type, is artificial.

sorry to get nutty with the exemplifications, it is just how it is stated.
It is also part of the ruling behind the "can't read a computer screen" from
the astral."
