TL;DR: This adds new angle types to Spa Day's LED strip items so you don't have to alt-drag to make diagonals perfect.

I was getting tired of having to very carefully alt-drag the “Foot Illumination System” floor lights from Spa Day to line up diagonals and create non-right angles. They clearly weren't designed with angles other than 90° in mind, but they can instantly make something kinda cyberpunky, so I really like them. I just adjusted their meshes in Blender to make mathematically perfect diagonals for the vanilla pack ones and then also made each corner angle directly between 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360° (since those angles are covered by the existing two).
I put these, including the two vanilla pack items, in the Lighting category in the catalog, because I also kept losing track of where the originals were and I feel Lighting makes more sense. They will now appear under Misc. Lighting in addition to their usual places in Misc. Decorations and alongside the pool decorations. There is an optional version of the package available that does not add the vanilla or new mod objects to Misc. Lighting and therefore does not override the vanilla objects, if you prefer.
---
Minor Issue (also exists in vanilla game): These new lights all use the same footprint as the vanilla "Foot Illumination System: Corner Edition" object, so without bb.moveobjects on, the game may disallow certain placements that would logically make sense. However, just as the vanilla pack, they also will not technically take up "space" and can overlap with each other or just about anything other than a wall. While the included images did not require any off-grid alt-dragging nor bb.moveobjects, using that cheat for placement may still be necessary for some designs.
