* In honor of ''Film/TronLegacy'', Marvel made a [[http://io9.com/5667163/what-if-iron-man-captain-america-and-thor-starred-in-tron series of illustrations]] for heroes such as IronMan, Wolverine, Spider-Woman, and a Lightcycle-riding Comicbook/GhostRider done ''TRON''-style. ComicBooki/SpiderMan's stealth suit is basically a toned-down version of this.

** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey'' has the Isu covered in them, going from their temples down their arms, the sides of their stomach and their legs. Once the Eagle Bearer gets their mitts on the Armor of the Dikastes set, they get a set of Lines of their own, in gold.

** In ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'', Ecliptor's body is covered with green Tron Lines. The Dark Fortress is also half-solid and half-green Tron Lines (as in, half of it seems to be ''made'' of green Tron Lines) in many scenes. Interestingly, most establishment shots make it appear to be in another dimension, and when it's in normal space, the Tron Line half becomes solid before it actually interacts with the outside world (such as sending out fighters or putting the Rangers' ship in that web thing). It stays Tronified during MakeMyMonsterGrow scenes, though.\\\
This makes even more sense when you consider that the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' season that provided the basis for ''In Space'' was themed not around space, but rather technology; its title, translated into English, was ''[[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Electromagnetic Task Force Megaranger]]''.

* In fact, these days this has become the norm for computer products, especially high end ones geared towards gaming. They're even programmable to make all sorts of color patterns or rainbow effects. It also comes with a practial use of reducing eyestrain and visablity at night for LED Keyboards or as visual indicators for things like heat.

The ultimate expression of ShinyLookingSpaceships. See also InstantRunes, essentially the [[FunctionalMagic Magic]] version, and VolcanicVeins, an organic equivalent seen among {{Elemental Embodiment}}s. Equipping your car or computer with neons and strobes counts as TruthInTelevision to some degree, though it's well known these things need their own power supply to get them running.
