So...check this brah, go into any good sign shop and ask them for some LED or where to buy them. LED technology is huge in the sign business now and fairly inexpensive and easy to use...
As a matter of fact cuz, you can probably go into the local radio shack and buy da kine fo'shua! EEEEASSSY!

Shootz brah, check it out! Hope this helps!

Radio Shack will sell you parts, but they don't know what parts to sell you. You get this LED and some wire and batteries and hook it up and poof! no bulb anymore! I have tons of LEDs, but it takes someone who knows to get it all wired up right. I also bought some lights ready made and reworked them for puffers, but, need more knowledge. I'm sure it's easy, if you know how.

MFD, don't worry. I mean, there have been pufferfish lamps hanging in tiki bars for 40 years with no problems. It is not an issue unless you put a giant bulb in there.
