Alternatively, you can paint the bottle with a light coat of orange or yellow

I have a whole bunch of photogels you could cut and tape over the LEDs, if you'd be so inclined.

I played around with one of these last event; it definitely has some potential. A couple things I noticed that could be improved on:

1) make the stem of the bottle opaque. This will serve to force the light to diffuse through the bottle and prevent the light from directly shining out. No light escaping directly means nobody complaining about getting light in their eyes.

2) have more fill in the bottle. Translucent colored plastic beads or gems would work without blocking the light. This will both dim the light and color it for a less aggressive glare.

Where you are now is a great starting point, I'm excited to see what improvements you make on this solid idea!

My favorite part is that you could grab the neck of the bottle, and the light shining through the bottom was directional like a flashlight. That was neat, and great for navigating the path to the blood spirits. Does the cap come off easily or is it glued in there?

You can also very easily replace the LED with a red one. Stay away from "blue"/white colors as they destroy night vision almost instantly.

I would love to get one of you can get the tinting to be more of a bright red or orange. Also if the battery could be replaced with a rechargable tiny battery, that would be amazing (course price would change to reflect that).

I too purchased one and did the same thing! The only time I didn't clutch the neck to funnel the light (as to not blind others, or because I was hunting for something on the ground) was when I'd let it sit on a table so I could read by its light-- which was awesome atmosphere for me :).

I too will be tying a bit of fabric around the neck for next game in case I need to use it on the road.
