Maybe someone else has done this, but I thought I'd share...
I'm too cheap to buy the lighted glass fish floats, so one day while I was in the local Hobby Lobby I noticed how the glass blown gazing balls looked alot like the floats.
I bought several sizes ( no mirrored ones)then picked up a few of those little night lights that people use at Christmas time to light up the little villages, and some cheap fish nets.
Worked out great. I bought most of them in the fall when they were closing out the globes, but I have noticed sales on the balls even now. Here's a few pictures. Just check the hole on the "neck' of the globes to make sure the light bulb will fit.



This last one was taken before I hid the electric cords better. Plus my lounge is much darker than the flash makes it look.
Hope I'm not posting old news here, but it's just so cheap and easy to do, I had to pass it along.
