...so I'm guessing it's quiet efficient then? (Mother Nature has an 
uncanny way of doing this, it seems.)

Given the number of genetically engineered organisms which glow, I'm 
guessing scientists have a good idea of how this works. Maybe 
electronically-controlled glowing algae or something isn't so 
far-fetched. (I hate to think what the component lifetime would be though!)
