I created this mod to light the AOTD figured. It was too distracting to have them lit all of the time. I used a picaxe microcontroller and a couple of switches for this mod. When the ball enters the towers, the switch triggers the fading light sequence (easy to code on a picaxe). When the ball exits the POTD, the light sequence is turned off. The light sequence really highlights the POTD, but only when the ball is in it rather than all of the time.
Here's a crarrpy vid of the sequence:
