Texture visible on Corona light

[Tok_Tok]

Hello,

I would like to have the possibility to view the attached texture on a corona light. I do a lot of product visualisation and place corona lights with gradients all over the place. The thing is, that it's often hard to see how the Gradient is mapped on the light. To see it I have to make the light visible to the camera, turn off the camera lock, point the viewport to the light and lower the brightness. I would help me a lot if the texture was just visible in the viewport, that stops the guesswork on the reflection on objects.

Thanks :)

Current solution: set the light/self illumination colour to black.

Ah thanks, but this is about the Corona Light material. I meant the Corona Light object. I don't want to use a plane with a Corona Light Material because it takes longer to set up and the corona light materials can be set to wireframe, which is nice.

Btw, having the ability to show textures on materials that are shown 100% black in the viewport (metal and glass for example), would also be very nice.  But that's something else.

I think if devs will find a way to implement this, they will do it for all light types, but AFAIK, that's not that easy.

Oke well I hope they do. In the meantime, can this be placed back to Feature Requests? because I would still like this to be a request and not a resolved one. :)
