Hi Dan from over here in East Tennessee!  You can take care of the problem, I 
think, by using relays.  See the information at  <A 
HREF="http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/how_to/relays/";>World Wide Web</A> .  It 
is not only a really thorough treatise on the rationale and the method of 
adding lighting relays, but is also a source of quality relay kits.  I 
haven't done it myself yet, but I plan to do so on the Sprite I am building.
