Hello all, I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as im trying to rack my brains about this one
Director has asked for around 10-15 "chinese lanterns" for a production. We eventually settled on paper lanterns (that are basically circular lamp shades made from paper chinese style)
Then comes the light part, I need to have some kind of lighting inside them, and they will be hung from the ceiling with something like fishing wire (they are only paper) and initially I was thinking standard small LED's connected in a little circuit with a removable battery for future use, but after trialling this it was not bright enough.
I need something that is similar to the bulb in a torch (ideally a little bit brighter) and needs to be powered by battery, but all I have found are LED or halogen lamps (like ones that can be ceiling mounted) that are 12V so I cant mount a massive 12V battery inside a circular paper lantern, but something that bright would be amazing, or am I simply missing something obvious?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if its just pushing me in the right direction
Cheers! - Lewis
