This also depends on what you are using to control the lights (and what type of lights you are using exactly). Something like an Arduino could control an LED strip while disabled (what we used last year). This is compliant with this years rules as far as I know (at least from my interpretation of them).
The setup would simply be PD -> dc to dc power converter (powers both the arduino and the lights permitting they run at the same voltage) -> arduino -> LEDs. This way you avoid the whole jaguar setup and you can have LEDs doing whatever you want while disabled.
Just another idea to consider.
