These days, it mostly refers to the LEDs on networking gear.

I'm considering implementing something close to that though: a new mesh light type that wouldn't take part in direct lighting processing but would still emit light if you happen to land on it. That would be most useful for tiny dim lights that do not have a strong effect on the overall lighting.

I second Jason -- it will be extremely useful for interior viz.
