net-tiki, maybe try night light kits for the underlighting? You can pick up the type with a cord & in-line switch @ the hardware or Big Box chain store, just get the type that take the large X-mas lights & use 4 clear red bulbs. You could put a cone of foil behind the light to bounce more light up towards the mask.

For a more "flame-like" look, maybe use flicker bulbs & paint'em red with glass paint?

Another thought was put 2 miniature halogen fixtures in the 2 outer bamboo pieces & angle them in slightly. You could then make'em red with a little piece of red cel.

Personally I'd like 1 red & 1 blue for moody shadows. I've been using that red 'n' blue light trick for mood lighting for mumble-mumble years.
