Basicly from what I understand is the room was pitch black and he set the camera on a tripod and set the shutter speed to 30 sec, then activated the shutter and within 30 seconds used the tourch to create his designs. thirty seconds is more then enough time in a dark room to make it appear that the lights were on. correct me if im wrong, I just posted this cause I am gonna try this with a floresent glow stick with a black light turned on! I'll post if it turns out any good!

^Beat me to it^

You have to set your self up in a dark room, or any where dark really.
Then just set the camera on a tripod or a steady surface, next use a extended shutter speed, such as 10 seconds or so.
That gives you enough time to write/ draw what ever it is you want. Other then that you just mess with the settings to get the desired results.

The torch/ flash light is the only light in the room, so it's basically all the camera picks up, giving you what you see above.

those shots are fun to do. it picks up motion, and anything stationary. if you stand there for long enough you will be a "ghost". i have done quite a few shots with a truck, my quad, and a motorcycle.
