Fake Tube Light Shader
Tried to test idea about tube lights (or “line light”), by using custom lighting in shader,
you could sample the light several times from different positions/angles,
so that it looks like the light is not just a single point. (not really working here properly yet, but kind of gives the effect, so it might be possible)
Source: *Light direction is animated in shader to show the effect
