I was going to make Molokai Bar-type rain windows for my tiki room and was thinking I'd use a gutter or something similar shaped but smaller attached to the bottom of the window to catch and recycle the water through the pump. Decided my window flashing might not be up to snuff so didn't do it.

If you are not going to have the rain run down the window, perhaps a possible splash fix may be to have the water hit a piece of metal that is steeply sloped and then run into the catch basin?

I would try both blue and green light aimed at the plants to see which you like best. If you're using low voltage lighting and you can't really see the bulb you can make diy light gels with colored cellophane. Blue seems more nocturnal maybe? Can you put any tiki torches out there? Look at pics of the Molokai's windows. To me the idea is to see the scene outside, but blurry through the rain. If you aim the lights at the rain I bet it obscures the view too much.
