Speaking of the shooter rod being lit..........haven't they had those for like 10 years at this point? Mindorbits lit shooter rods? They stay lit all the time unless they are being pulled back. They use a conduction ring in the inside of the cabinet on the rod to send the power to the light in the shooter knob.
I'm not saying you would want one lighting all kinda flashy colors, but getting the power to a bulb in the knob should be the same no matter what type of bulb it would be I would think.
