Interestingly, as a little detail I should mention that if you remember the patterns in the box had silver all-caps labels in Helvetica in the lower-right hand corners. So the clown would have text in the bottom reading "CLOWN". The rooster had "ROOSTER", etc. Must have been to help the kids figure out what the pattern was supposed to be before they committed to filling it in with pegs.
This piece has a label too. I got large size Helvetica stamps from Michaels and used silver ink to stamp on the black paper in the corner "THE KING". It was a tip of the hat to the original toy designs.

Odd that your tone should be so protective of Lori's intellectual capital and/or reputation as the definitive Lite-Brite artist. It's not really a complicated concept, so I think it's quite possible for there to be parallel development of this idea. You clearly take this more seriously than I do.
Frankly, I actually think the most "artistic" use of this material has been done by a guy named Steve Defrank. He hand-tints the pegs and does the entire composition by eye and on the fly without pre-planning (my trick uses Photoshop to dither a photo to the lite-brite palette).
