1.FloraLytes I have a small hole at the bottom of the light that allows you to poke in a wire. Then add it to your arrangement wherever you want light.
2. FloraLytes II have a pull tab with a hole on the end. You can create a small pick here and then push the pick into the middle of a flower blossom to illuminating the entire flower.
3. Use in Paper lanterns to create a wonderful glow. You probably need about 3 per 12" diameter paper lantern to get the right effect. 4. Use a tall vase and find a lamp shade that fits nicely. Add three floralytes inside the lampshade and place the centerpiece on a l.e.d. lighted based. The floralytes will produce light at the top and the bases will shoot light up through the column of the vase. Fill the vase with colored water, florals, gems, marbles, iridescent shred or anything else you want!
