Perhaps you should have a look at my disco ball. It is probably quite
easy to convert it to a macro. At the time when I created the image,
Nathan's photon map patch didn't exist. That's why I included the
"virtual" spot light sources to get the reflected lights. Using Nathan's
patch this is now obsolete.

The scene uses a halo to make the light beams visible. So, fiddling
around with the media will be your job. :-)

The image as well as the source code and an animation can be found at

Feel free to ask when you have further questions.

Thomas
