      Hmmm maybe look at the luminance actor and freeze, video buffer or motion blur actor... i'm sure you can grab each brightest bit of a picture and build up a montage type effect...

            The patch works great. Is there an actor that can be added to make the light dissipate after a specified amount of time?

              I updated the post above with a new version that can do that, please re-download.

              By the way, I have made a simmilar patch last week, that works a bit different that may suit your needs more or less try it out, you find it HERE.

                thanks! They both are awesome but not exactly what I was looking for. 
                I'd like the trail of light to continuously disappear so it looks almost like a snake emerging from the light source's movement instead of periodically resetting. 
                Does that make sense?
                Cheers,
                Alex

                  Ok, here is a version that fades the light trail. And see also the other POST for a fading light trail version.
