^^^ ( L3b3rt ) you can connect the batteries in series which will give you around 3 volts, since the normal operating voltage for LED's is between 1~5 volts.

5/5 for being creative, love home made stuff

Nice & sweet!!
Only practical if you build a drain for the dripping water OR just let it soak on your carpet in your house party.

4/5!

what if the water melts, wouldnt in short circuit the ? u can also use a clear type glue or hardening liquid instead of water, then it wont melt. Its a cool way of making a lamp in ur room

Use the gel powder to solidify the water. It looks translucent and doesnt melt.

might wanna put a current limiting resistor so the LED does not burn out...cause that would suck.. its just a normal resistor in series with the LED...trust me i speak from experience..

^^ a 62 ohm for 2 batteries would be perfect, since not that much current in AA batteries, it will give the lED a longer life
