Windell writes – “Here’s my favorite design for a jack-o-lantern; it’s a (tiny) mini-pumpkin carved with the circuit diagram symbol for a light-emitting diode. Naturally, it’s lit by an LED. This LED circuit inside this one is a TireFly, which is a type of blinky light designed to mount on the tires of a bicycle. You can get these things at regular hardware stores or sporting goods stores– I got mine at Target– and so this is one of the easiest and quickest ways to get an LED in your pumpkin. Read more about this pumpkin and its circuit here.Link.
