i'd post more but this is one of the more conservative poses and i think this is probably already borderline on the family-forum
probably half the string didnt work. i probably should have tested them for more than a second before doing a shoot where they'd need to be moved around. although i didnt mind spending the whole end of the shoot 'adjusting' the loose bulb on her butt that kept making the remaining bulbs go out. i rarely if ever add effects with photoshop. 98% of my work is done in camera and then just adjust levels (brightness contrast etc) in photoshop. those lights were the only lighting in the shot.
