Quoted from Toasterdog:

String of globe lights for $9 and free shipping. You can pluck the globes off and still have the string of lights too.

Man, thanks a bunch for sharing. Ordered the string of lights. If anybody is in Dallas/FW and wants to save a couple bucks you are welcome to come grab a bulb cover from this strand. Arrives on Saturday.

Quoted from Toasterdog:

Thanks guys. The orb mod is super easy. It took me no more than 15 minutes or so.
For my orb I used a globe from a string of lights. The globe is the size I wanted and the shape works well. I also like the fact it's not perfectly clear (I would have preferred a cloudy look) but it was affordable and looks great from the players view. I ended up lightly sanding the globe anyway to get my cloudy look and hide the bubbles inside.

I drilled a hole in the plastic the same diameter as the little downtube. It keeps the ball steady and seems to help channel the light. I chose to file the tube down some, but it could be left long to add a pedestal for the orb. I simple slid a piece of blue sticky note paper between the led and lightly sanded globe to change the color.
The more I play with it the more I really like it, even without adding the figure (although I’m going to)
I like the orb illuminates when the orb is hit and obviously when the orb shot is lit.

Thanks for posting. I thought I would post a before and after look when sanding. I wet sanded using 400 then 1200 grit.

I think I’m going to add a resistor to drop voltage to 2v and just use the led that came with it and wire into GI

Quoted from Toasterdog:

Just as an update, I added my mini-figure, but she was still too big. I had to cut her dress in half. I tried a few different mounting options, but opted for simplicity. I drill a hole (divot) the size of the center screw head and put a small dab of super glue in the divot (adhered to screw head) and it's very solid with no vibration.
Anyway, not as great as I hope, but better then the original IMO.

Thanks for this idea. I did mine so that the orb is always lit solid white and the flasher below still functions as normal.
