I made some lights for my floats out of bamboo and lamp parts. Its basically a section of bamboo long enough to hold a candelabra socket & bulb, fastened thru a hole in the inside disc at one of the nodes (segment, joint, etc), and a little bit of chain to secure it to the float netting. I used night light bulbs for illumination. The bamboo just simply sits on top of the float, no drilling required. Works really well, and you don't have to risk cutting your floats.
