Thanks to Curbry, I finally got my River Rock lantern. I was hoping to etch the glass, but it's plastic, so no luck. However, I took it apart and, using a dremel with rounded stone, ground the inside of the inner globe. Here's how it ended up compared to the original.
Here's the inner globe after being ground:
And here's both in the dark: (right is original)
Finally, this is how they light the wall. Ignore the marks on the wall.
First is the with the ground globe:
And the clear globe:
It would probably work better with a metal brush. I'd also think the light would be more uniform frosting the outside globe, but that might be too ugly.
I should probably mention to be careful to keep the same orientation when you replace the circuit board. Just twist the very top to expose the board. Then unscrew the two nuts and lift the board (and the metal plate underneath - the wires are connected).
