- Use warm white or cool white LEDs depending on instrument color match; common values: 3mm LEDs, 2–3 V forward voltage.
- Power with a hidden battery box or thin external cable; include a resistor sized for supply voltage (e.g., for 5 V, use ~220–330 Ω for a 2 V LED).
- Test lighting before final gluing; mask LED glare with paint or diffusing material to avoid blown-out hotspots.

The aurora borealis, visible in the Northern Hemisphere, is most commonly observed in countries located near the Arctic Circle, such as Norway, Sweden, and Alaska. Casey may have had the chance to witness the northern lights on a trip to Tromsø, Norway, where the aurora is often visible on clear winter nights. The lights appear as swirling curtains of green, blue, and red, seemingly moving and dancing across the sky. The colors and patterns of the aurora borealis are influenced by the intensity of solar activity, the altitude of the particles, and the atmospheric conditions.
