Hey TikiVato, I was thinking of converting one to a light also, but I was worried
about drilling into the composite material the planters are made of, did you have any issues when you made your lamps?

Lance, No need to drill if you're just going to add a light over top. Just remove the top plant and then remove the rubber stopper. You will need a base to attach a fully threaded lamp pipe. For the top, you will need a washer large enough to cover the hole where the rubber stopper was and also a couple of lock washers and nuts. Of course you will need a socket with a female thread to insert the threaded pipe. You will need a lamp shade with a harp unless you find a shade that connects to the socket. If you have any troubles with the assembly, you can come over to the Elks in Garden Grove on Oct 10th and I can help you for free. For the small hole, I didn't have any problems. Just go slow.
