If you don't see the "Use Nodes" option make sure you're in cycles mode for the section that checks "Use Nodes" in the shading section.

Thank you. When clicking on light object, i went to Render properties and chose Cycles and now it works. I also enabled Cycles render engine in Blender properties.

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear you got it working : ) @@niedarle

Where is a good place to learn the logic of all these nodes to come up with stuff like this? Also, awesome tutorial!

I would recommend checking out blender artist Ian Hubert and subscribe to his Patreon if you can. It's an incredible resource. Thank you for your comment!

This a great way for replicating LED strips. it's hard to make them realistic since it's hard finding IES textures that look right
