Looking for empty bottles for a light organ I built a while back. Hoping to get as many as possible for a better effect than just a dozen glowing bottles. Sucks bars can't just give them away.

I'll start saving mine from now on.

Also, How about airplane bottles?

Need to be shorter than 11 inches to fit on top of the cabinets.

The design was an idea on my part but got a lot of good ideas from instructables. There are a million different designs there depending on how much wiring you want to do.

Here's one I found really helpful:

Ive got two empty 5ths of 151, but dont have a tape measure or the ability to judge lengths on sight (looks like it would be close?). Let me know of you think they will work.

Those should work and will look pretty sweet. PM me where I can pick them up.

Also forgot to mention that the LEDs have to be UV in order for this to work right. About 390nm wavelength worked best for me

I can get you empty handles of jose cuervo and 5ths of sambuca on the regular - do you want any with tint or just clear?

The tent can't be too dark for the light to go though the bottom and out the sides. Jager is way too dark it turns out

Here is what it looked like when I first completed it in December without the liquor bottles.

I'm planning on building 3 more to completely cover my cabinets. Brotastic.
