I do have an uplight for Boss Moss but I think as you mentioned a light from above shining down would help also. We had talked about it but it would take some rewiring and climbing back up to that rediculously high ceiling again. You're right about the light being sort of sucked up by the material of the tiki. Silverline is going to come back and take a proper photo at a later date. He's a pro you know. His skill with a lens will show you how really cool it looks up close. Buzzy old boy, now you know what I got for my Christmas present from the Mrs. I got her another vintage lamp. It's a table lamp that has 2 spun glass or plastic globes and is orange with a wood piece in the center...oh heck I'm doing a bad job describing it. I'll just add a pic later.
