Re: Cthultha nightlight
Here's what I bought:
Qty Product/Options Price/Ea
1 NFLS-NW30X3-WHT Natural White 15.95
2 NFLS10-2CHCPS Adapter CPS Cable Clamp 3.49
2 CPS-12VDC-6W 6 Watt - 12VDC 10.95
Note that the power supply is less expensive at Amazon.com. I suspect equivalents for the others might be too.
Another note: The viewing is best from the back side. So if there is any text, it will be best if you mirror it before carving.

Re: Cthultha nightlight
That is an exceptional Cthulhu design, with the right level of menace and fun. Now I really want to make one of these for my 14-month old daughter, who we used to put to sleep with "cthulhu sleeps"!
