I think I’m the first, but, maybe not.
I know I haven’t seen it before.

Thanks Jim and Rick,
got a base coat of paint on it made a door and added it, also made the lighting better, IMO.

My wife said that you can disassemble the light and not have the white plastic deal on it

Another possible option…and one I’m thinking of using is the Evan Designs fire simulator…I like this idea too…

Karl, Good idea…I did the same thing on a wood burning stove about 20 years ago

Thanks Bryan, Art, Tom and Joel, I think it’s a great addition to one of Brett’s amazing castings.
$1.99 for 3 flickering ‘candle’ LED’s at Hobby Lobby, that fits my tight wallet. Easy to hide in the base (which I’ve done) and scenic around/over.
Just showing another way of how easy it is to do these days.

Very cool subtle effect! Simple and inexpensive makes it a win all around. Thanks for sharing

Karl, great job. That is insane modeling for the boiler light.
Great idea for the hobby lobby led’s. I believe I saw these at Hobby Lobby.
Keep up your great ideas and work!!
