Bob's Floating Lantern
One of the only sites that shows the "workings" of a MFL. Though there is no description Bob has great pictures that show his new masterpeice, oh and we like his "LUCK (wasn't)" tombstone :)

Battery Lamp Flickerer
To create the eerie flame look in your lantern, you should opt to buy a BLF from Haunt Master Products. It's description : This product is for building a "flame like" flicker into battery powered bulbs as required for building a portable candle or candelabra. A single board can handle up to 3.0 amps* of 5 to 12 volt bulbs. The complete circuit (ref. dimensions on photo) is small enough to fit almost anywhere.

Cheaplights.com Mirror Ball Motor
This is the motor you use to control the MFL. It's description: Heavy duty, speed of 2 to 5 rpm.120 v a/c. for balls up to 20. For \\$10.95 plus S & H, this is a bargain!
