It was an accident that my light bulb size(radius) was at 50.8

50.8 is millimeter equivalent of 2 inches, the default light size.

Those looked really good, Edmund.

Now, they say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, so I hope Remus doesn't mind my try to achieve a similar look to his blue rubber dragon:

ok, been putting it of, but here is my V-ray attempt.

i used a preset as a guide and made this material, not sure what it is!
its has some mega harsh shadows which i have no idea how to get rid of as i am still learing V-ray.
Rendered in less than 40s which i was mega impressed by!
