I don't mean LEDs, I just want to model a load of small lights on some scenery. Ideally, I want them in HIPS, about 2-3 mm long. Search engines are giving me no joy, since every combination of terms I can think of produces LEDs and real lightbulbs.
Suggestions for scratch building them which are better than 'just buy acrylic beads' and 'turn them individually on an improvised dremel lathe' (the solutions I have thought of myself) would also be welcome.

Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

You can clip off a pin head and paint accordingly. The pins with the big teardrop might work.

Kromlech have a set of resin industrial lights that are pretty cool.
If you play about with sprue you can also come up with reasonably convincing strip lights and industrial spotlights and emergency lights. Below are some of my attempts.
Site floodlights
Emergency light units
You can also buy loads of these little bubble solution tubes on Amazon for a few pounds. If you cut the end off, you get a great quality scale industrial.tube, and a reasonably good individual round fluorescent wall.mount light unit out of each one.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
