Green Ideas: LED Ambiance

2008-02-05LEDpebblepost100.jpgNo, it isn't a UFO...it's an idea we got from Natural Home Magazine and used at our last dinner party to create great, "greener" ambiance. We took our depression-ware parfaits glasses, placed a rechargeable battery-powered LED "puck" inside it and topped with clear pebbles that we had bought for a different project but never used. We placed it on the windowsill where the reflection in the glass added to the illusion, backed by the city's night skyline, as seen on the right.

After the jump, there's a well-lit picture of the finished product and materials.

The pebbles are like these from Crate and Barrel, and the LED puck lights are Stick 'n Click brand, which seems to be lowest-priced option, and happened to be available at our local Target.

FYI--The pebbles we had came about 100 to a package, and could cover 3 puck lights.
