Yeah Tim I thought about that but had no room for both.
When I put in fish float light it came up for me. Not for you?
And Tikihula this light is plastic but you make it sound like a toy ball from Toys''R''Us.
this one is from a store display and more like Acrylic or Polycarbonate I said plastic.
I have sold lights with glass globes, plastic er ah Acrylic or Polycarbonate and even paper globes.
The one light I have not sold is one that "Someone may be really disappointed" with.
In fact I did "really disappoint" people at Hukilau when I sold all my lights in one day
and they could not buy one.
And yes I had Paper, Plastic And Glass globes that I sold there.
As I go to tiki bars home and commercial I encountered many different types of lights.
I study, photograph and buy them.
The great bars of old all had plastic globes and glass.
And the most of the glass ones WERE NOT FISH FLOATS!
Fish floats are a pale green coke bottle color, I have had people ask for many colors
but never a lt green or lt blue, If you put a light in them it does not look so hot.
The plastic globe weighs less is more durable and has better colors than most glass ones do.
One of my favorite lights from the Kahiki is plastic.
Look at the fish trap lamp at bottom of page.

"Now here's one of my favorite vintage Tiki lounge lamps, a classic 3 resin float bamboo fish trap light!"
Plus Sven has many Resin, plastic er ah Acrylic or Polycarbonate lights in his house.
What I find odd is that I have seen a light here that is priced kinda high they were 12 inch floats
and not tied as well that sold for around $250.00 to your door, that's $20.00 bucks an inch.
($20.00 bucks an inch would put this light at around $180.00)
They did come in lt blue I think, tied with sisal twine.
You felt no need to do a public service announcement on those lights.
I've seen mugs go for high dollar, and those can be made by a mold.
Hey if you make some money off your art, good for you I say.
I'm up to about Five cents an hour and riding high.
You DO know I have to buy this stuff to make these right?
This is a one of a kind hand made light, I think they call that couture in the fashion world.
Or "Hand crafted Cocktail" at Three Dots, At this price I can get one bowl of booze with tip.
I will post some photos of plastic globes to show my point.
And yes you are right someone will be "really disappointed" with this light.
The People who did not win it.
The Kahiki.
Now in my house and one of my favs.
A Little place called Oceanic Arts, It's in California.
Another California place call Tiki Ti.
Three of my other plastic lights. (All Sold) can you spot the glass one?
With no "Someone may be really disappointed" I might add.
