Thanks again! Lidco Pagoda Lights acquired - a fifteen-pagoda set.

Both these and my Lidco Coach Lights come in four colors: pink, blue, green, yellow. And all but the blue have very pale pastel colors when lit by white or clear bulbs. Thank goodness I've got a big stock of oddball colors of C6 bulbs. Using various colors of bulbs, I've been able to make...

Pink lanterns:
Raspberry red (transparent ruby bulb), medium pink (transparent pink bulb)
Yellow lanterns:
Golden (metallic gold bulb), medium orange (transparent orange bulb), flame red-orange (translucent red bulb)
Green lanterns:
Medium green (transparent blue bulb), yellow-green (metallic gold bulb)
Blue lanterns:
Cobalt blue (transparent blue bulb), teal (trasparent yellow bulb)

My new deck might not be tiki, exactly, but the 60s non-psychedelic garden party look might be a feature. 29 lanterns of two shapes, in many colors, a big conical orange "Tahoe ski lodge" Malm fireplace, and a nice colorful Rain Jet fountain if I'm lucky.

Thanks again for pointing out the eBay auctions!
