You might try making your own. That's what I plan to do. You want to have your glass floats and your blow fish illuminated. Well, you can't throw much wattage at it or you A) ruin the mood and B) burn it to a crisp.

I have not gotten to this yet, but will. Go to Radio Shack and get your supplies and hook up the smallest LED you can find. You can run it off the smallest wire you can find and could even just put it on a 9 volt battery or converter. This will give you very little wire showing, low heat and light. I have not bought the parts, or done more than talk to people who know. Any electronics store can help you out. Maybe get a capstan (dimmer) too.

I got my blowfish off Ebay for maybe $15. And I figure lighting all these things is what I really want to do, so best to make it an in house project rather than try to do one thing at a time from a vendor.
