I would like to own one of those MilkyCandles some day, but they don't come up for sale very often, so since I'm on vacation I thought I'd improvise and try to build me some type of wanna-be MilkyCandle.

Here's the result:

Finally a use for the cigar holder, I had it double as a more secure stand:

Here's the little glower:

Parts used.
Tiablo 9 - took head off
Cap from Grapefruit Juice
1 strip of reflective tape on the body, just for fun :)
Parts from the wrist strap of the hospital bracelet (darn high blood pressure). This is what made the little round hole look on the cap, plus I needed a little bit of filler since the cap was loose without it.

I have the older Tiablo 9 and for some reason it's really ringy/donuty, so I took the head off and it sure was nice and floody...hardly noticed the rings. I noticed the emitter is on the body so this is what inspired me to try a knock-off Milky. This is by no means as sophisticated as a Milky. My hat goes off to Scott, I want one of his.

Thoughts?
This will have to make due until a real MilkyCandle shows up on the B/S/T forum.

You could have used this light for a lovely candle light dinner during the 60 minutes Earth Hour a few days ago. :naughty: Or, did you? :twothumbs
 
Shucks, missed that opportunity. I just built it this morning.
I do like that it uses a rechargeable 17670 battery, that's a bit more earth friendly.

LOL... "MCWannaBE". Excellent, Lisa... the sparks of inspiration that ignite the joy of modding! :party:

I'd like to snag one of Scott's candles as well, but for now, I've also got a Milky themed light to hold me over. Take a swig from the "Pint of Milk" in post #24 of my old modding thread.
