Liberty One and Two utilized a product called Lighttube (sp?) which consisted of coated hollow tubes and light sources at the ends of each tube segment. Supposedly, according to one article at the time, an issue they ran into with Liberty Two was that the maker had changed the coating formulation after Liberty One, so that the tubes on Liberty Two appeared brighter.
