Mini Orchid Lantern!

[Polarizeme]

I would love to see how you mounted the lights and wired them, is it possible to get a pic of that?

Of course. It's extremely low tech lol.
It's a lamp that's been destroyed.
I took the cable, clipped the back opening of the lanterns vent.
Ran the plug through the opening. And plugged it into my wall.
Very very easy lol.
The lamp itself just sort of sits right there on the top. Out of sight.
I'm still in debate on whether or not to add in a reflector. I'm trying to make this as low tech as possible.
My goal is one fan and one light.

Great project. Can't wait to see what's going to be in there!

Thank you! Not as attractive when you can see my silicone job up close.

It looks awesome, the fact everything is hidden makes it so much more attractive!

Now that looks great. I hope you get it all set up and it works good for you.

I'm very keen on hidden equipment.
I can see two cables and the filter on my fish tank and it's driving me nuts.

Thank you! I know some mini orchids will thrive. But which ones.

I really don't know but I will bump this so some one will maybe give you a few.

Lol it's ok. I'm placing a largish order with Andy's next week so I'll be able to test the waters in there and get an idea of what I can grow.

The cork background is for mounts? I'm not sure what you mean. But I intend to mount orchids all over the background.
I don't remember off the top of my head... I think the size is in my first post.
Something like 16" high and 11" wide and deep at the base.
This is a medium sized lantern. I remember this came in small and really large. I kind if wish I had received the larger one because the background did take a lot of space.
But as a Christmas gift this was pretty perfect.
