With your favorite Dremel drill one or two holes to receive the green LED.

Weld the Wires

Weld the wires on the LED, personnaly I use two green LED retrain from an old computer casing. Be sure to respect the polarity of the LED (elsewhere the LED doesn't work).Glue the wire on the rock .

Stand It

I use a multiple power supply set on 3 volts to feed the LED but you can use 2 size AA battery.

And now Superman beware of you i've got my own Kryptonite.

This instructable is my first one, excuse me if my english is too not so good I'm a french people (still sorry ;-) ) from New Caledonia .
