GatorRob, You've inspired me to make my own lighted "glass float" out of an old hanging light i've had stuffed in a shed for many years. Its a 16" white glass globe. I also have one of my old hammocks, its a bit rotted but maybe I can salvage enough to make a net for the globe. (I don't throw anything out that has even the slightest chance of being useful in my future tiki hut/bar!) I will either have to use a colored lightbulb or paint it using the spray you mentioned earlier, or maybe I can remove the inside white coating. Will post my results if at all successful.
