There's a great post here about a really high-quality tealight hack for the Bones Flaming Sphere. The crafter makes a cool switch and swaps out the batteries. I didn't want to go to that much trouble... I figured that there was a way to hide a flat battery in a normal 25mm base. I was right. Here's a schematic of what I did -- By all means, if that's not clear, send me a message. Here's a picture of the mini with no battery in the base. You put the battery IN to turn it on. I haven't painted it yet. That's flexible modeling paste on the bottom to hide the base and the wire. Here's a peek under the hood -- Note: That's a CR2016 battery. 3V, but it's really thin... Here it is lit --

Very, very nicely done! When I saw the other vid I, too, thought that the flat bat should fit under the hat.... erm I mean base..(sorry had a Dr. Seuss moment there)....

Awesome wilmanric! I had bought these lights for this purpose as well but couldn't quite figure out how to make the base less "there". This solution rocks.
