The current texture for the Insolator is somewhat basic, and it only has a single tone. This is especially obvious when an Insolator is placed adjacent to something like a Mekanism block:

In the above images, the Insolator has a blue tint (which I no longer like) rather than the nice gray of the Mekanism blocks. Also the Makanism blocks have a good amount of gradient and noise that the Insolator texture is mssing. The greebling on the Insolator texture is also less pronounced than would be preferrable.

Finally, the active variant of the texture doesn't really do much other than change the colour of the green light on the front:

(Note: The illumination here is provided by the block itself emitting light whilst active).

It would be good if the Insolator could perhaps show some of the yellow light from the bulb betseen it's flanges or something.
