Hmm, little question? Why would somebody wanna have 400+ lights in a 
moray file? I can't really see a use in it. And to reply to Lutz 
suggestions, as far as i recall from my 'tests' with lua it is not 
thought to be used as a import plugin connection. I don't think file 
handling is supported. Correct me, if i'm wrong.

Happy new year from me to all of you as well.
