The stems
The stems are recycled bottles that I cut, ground, and polished for the base. Finally, I added a light glaze for easy cleaning (damp cloth) and to reduce fingerprints on the sandblasted surface.
The lights
Each lamp comes with a compact LED nightlight-sized lamp that fits inside of the stem. It is a 5000K LED rated for low energy usage (1.5W) and long life. It is rated at 22.8 years when lit 3 hours/day or about 3 years if lit 24/7.
The socket is affixed in the stem with gel tape for the short lamps. The bulbs are in the narrow neck of the tall lamps without any adhesive.
To change the bulbs, give the bulb base a light tug. Replace the bulb and reaffix.
Additional details
This mushroom is one piece. The top and stem have been bonded with clear silicone. To learn more about the creation of glass mushrooms, please see this blog post – behind the handmade scenes.
