Think Geek Hacks Contest Entry - ReUse a Health Potion Bottle

This is my entry in the Think Geek Hacks Contest. I decided to try and reuse a Health Potion Energy drink bottle. It could be used as a prop in a role playing game or as a neat decoration. I created a basic light to put in the bottle to light it up.

Step 1: Parts

Here are the parts you'll need:

C 1 Empty Health Potion bottle
C 1 piece of plastic
C Super Glue
C Masking Glue
C Food Coloring Dye (Color of your choice)
C Button Cell Battery (Small 1.5 volt)
C A resistor
C An LED of your choice (I used Red)
C Hookup wire

How bright was the led you used (in mcd)? What would you recommend personally?

[jmosack]

I don't remember what the MCDs were on the LED i used.  I recommend a really bright LED, as the one I used was barely able to illuminate the coloring of the liquid.

Or you could try dilluting the coloring a bit more.  The coloring was a bit thick on mine.
