This is a colorful little lantern I made this evening out of spare parts and a tupperware container. Food-storage containers make great project boxes: they’re cheap, translucent, waterproof, and available in a variety of sizes. I wanted it to put out a warm, cheerful light, so I balanced two blue LEDs with three each in red, yellow, and pink. I’ll make a few more of these; they’ll be path lighting for Barry & Maja’s weekend camping trip / music festival / wedding later this summer.
