You can get a similar effect using paint and painting the low lighter and slowly fading into a darker color near the bottom. I really like this look.
It's essentially a box with blue acrylic inside it and a light or leds mounted inside the top of the box shining through and giving the perception of the sun on the horizon and depth into the background.
