Well, it's 2011 now, but this is as good a place to post as any. I got my jack-o-lanterns done for this year.
The green has a 5w LedEngin green in it, the blue is running a P4 blue, and the red is a Rebel Deep Red. The green kinda overpowered my cell camera, but it looks great in person.
We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

I'm only a *little* excited for Skyrim.

Here's a pic of my lighting modules. They're not pretty, but they get the job done!
Yay for spare parts!

Thats a lot of work and $ to light a jack-o-lantern... I hope you put a plug in case any smartass feels like looking at it or something.Originally Posted by Silver Serpent

BTW $5 gets you 4 LED packs with batteries for lanterns. I found them at my local Pharmaprix/Wallgreen/CVS stores. Not that bright, but stick 2 in a jack-o-lantern and their plenty bright, 4 is like Versailles.

Here's my Lantern that says "Sith" on it. It's illuminated by a 10W Ledengin Deep Red. Man, its bright! But also reeeeaaallly hot when not properly fixed on a heat sink!

Here is the one I made for this year. It took me 6 hours to carve it out and shave it in spots and I made a custom light box for it with a Cree white XR-E LED and custom heat sink for a total of around 200 Lumens. I used a TCSS switch and got a project box from Radion Shack. Here are several different pics of it.
