At the top of the image is a rough sketch of the plexiglass container I used to make the lantern. I rotated the container, which was originally used for pencils, onto its side. The container is relatively light. It is made of 1/4” thick plexiglass. The container has two compartments. The two compartments are separated by a larger piece of plexiglass, at the end of which is a cutout handle. The bottom compartment contains the electrical components of the lanterns. The top compartment contains the water. When determining which compartment should contain the water, and which should contain the electrical materials, I thought of a pool scenario. The lights in a pool diffuse/reflect light best when they are
under the water.
