Johnny_D Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I was so inspired by BillySoCo7's thead HereThat I really fancy doing something like this on my newest baby... the one with the black (ish) Vase.[Vase Here]I wonder if it's possible to get one LED on a magnetized base that could attach it's self to the Bottom of the hose/purge chamber and just point down into the vase - One does not want to drill one's new Hookah!Going to pop a paint pic in to show what i mean..JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 The only way I can think of lighting the base is by having a harness hanging off the bottom of the stem that is a cradle for the LED's. Here's a ghetto paint drawing to (sorta) illustrate what I mean.[attachment=883:LED.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 My idea... if it makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillySoCo7 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks JD. You just gave me an idea. I'm going to get to work on my idea. What i'm going to do is run an LED down through the purge valve. The led will just stick into smoke chamber with the wiring running up and out of the purge and the battery on the outside of the hookah. Only problem with this is that you wouldn't be able to purge, but you'd have one bad ass looking smoke chamber. What do you think? I'm going to prob. go and get a LED and some wire tomorrow from radioshack. I'll try to get it done and have pictures up by dinner. Cool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillySoCo7 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I mean, if it looks good and everything I will prob end up drilling a seperate hole so that the purge valve is still intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact one of my regular smoking hookah's has a slight dink in the chamber where the ball-bearing sites. So I Melted some hot wax over the ball bearing to make it air tight.So it's not much of a problem without the valve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillySoCo7 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 The hookah i'm smoking right now has the ball bearing stuck in it and i haven't been able to get it out for the life of me. I'm too lazy most of the time to crack the seal to clear it, but then again, I never really need to. So i'm gonna see what I can do with this tomorrow and I'll post up the pictures as soon as I get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't really bright enough to get up to the smoke chamber though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 what if you hear wrapped allt he way to the top of the led and put it down in the water?or you can diffuse the light so its not as blinding but still bright by sanding the LED's a little bit.. that might keep its from being as bright in one placelooks good otherwise!

BillySoCo7 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 That might work. I'll attach the LED to the bottom of the downstem submerged in the water and see what that looks like. Videos almost done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
