(Download Files Here)
Tutorial Level: Beginner
This tutorial covers:
*Making a custom Node Group to hide mesh lights
*Using the Light Path node

More resources such as a pdf/text version and the .blend file is available on http://deniszholob.99k.org/tutorials/hide-meshlights/

NOTE: The second way of approaching this is to unckeck the camera ray visibility in the object panel. The disadvantage of this is that you might forget you unchecked it ALSO you would not have the easy option of using a group node 😉
