I'm looking to create some different colour lightingin the mall, trying to get away from the standard torches that I've always used. I just tried street lamps but I think they switch off during the day, even when they're inside, so it got kinda dark 
I was wondering what other lights I could use, for a more colourful effect - reds, blues, greens etc.

As far as I know, there is not a way of creating different shades of light apart from streetlamps (which do turn off in the day btw). If there is a way, id love to know what it is.

Yep, streetlamps are the only way to get "true" colored lighting. That's a major peeve of mine. The lighting in this game doesn't have collision renders or filters. If you cover up a light with a solid object, the light still shines through and if you drop, say, a color crystal over it, it doesn't filter through in that color. You can, however, make some mild changes by using green, pink, and purple crystals with candles inside. It's not great, but it's better than nothing.

Thanks for the replies, but I think I've found something.. the Lytus Family Artifact gives off a lovely blue glow 
may be slightly dark, and quite expensive to get hold of (paid 1 mill each on Chimaera), but its worth it

I'm sorry you paid that much for it.
It's quite easy to get, if you don't mind being an Imp. for a while. You can run the missions out of the Imp. base on Dantooine, you don't even need combat skills to do 'em.
