Lights Alive
Lights Alive :
Lights Alive was like a light box but with a black cover full of small holes which each had a tiny LED bulb shaped bit of plastic in it. Lights Alive from Tomy came with a bunch of different tools which all served the purpose of being able to poke down the holes and push the plastic bits so they were transparent and the light could shine through. This would allow you to create all sorts of pictures and patterns.
The light box itself had different colour mirrored pieces around it so that the colours that in your picture were like a rainbow. You could change these colours by spinning a wheel at the side of the box.

“Lights Alive” on ebay
Try searching eBay UK...
Try searching eBay US...
Sorry, no listings were found for the US.
Also remembered...
I used to watch the Voltron cartoon, and it featured six (I think) little Power Ranger like guys plus a pink girl, who each had their own robotic cat or animal.
When the time called for extra bad-guy beating power, all the different color robots would join together into one big mega-robot.
...and do you remember these?

I have been racking my brain trying to remember what this was called! My husband laughed at me last night because I was up until 2am online trying to find something about it, and all I could come up with was info on lite-brites which are NOT the same thing. So, thanks for naming it for me! I loved this toy!

I would think that this would be more popular than Lite Brite, because of the fact that there weren't any colored pegs that could get lost, stepped on, vacuumed, swallowed by the family pet, that sort of thing. Also, Lite Brite you had to plug in while Lights Alive was battery operated. It saved more electricity, it seemed. I never had one, but I *did* have the commercial for it on a tape (which unfortunately died, but I found the commercial online last night).

This was an absolutely FANTASTIC toy! On the rare occasions when I'd break away from playing with my dolls and playsets, I'd either curl up with a book, or fight with my sister over who got to play with our Lights Alive right there and then! I remember being fascinated by the lights and the "bubble board" we drew on using the special tools.
