Ok now what do I do with this?

[chantyam the 2nd]

Bought this at Poundworld it's a garden photo sensitive light that comes on when it dark (if you want it to) ..
But I honestly cannot think of any ideas as to how to use it..perhaps add a large piece of plastic to the light as a lumitated portal?

Um, use it in the garden? 

Oh, you mean in a game!   

No idea.  May a comparison pic next to your chosen figure scale will help.

That's the surface bit of a nefarious villain's underground lair. The lamp is his Z-Ray doomsday weapon soon to be unleashed on the unsuspecting citizens of Earth. The black square is his version of a Thermal Exhaust Vent, so the good guys can foil his plans at the very last minute (obviously with explosive results)...

This is almost exactly what I thought, Only I figured it's the entrance (or the release hatch for a weapon silo!), by covering the light with a round industrial door of some sort.

You could put some sort of spell effect over the light to make it a magic portal of some sort.
or
Take out the electronic bits and pieces and make some sort of star base inside it. Great for X-Wing armada or similar small scale space games.

Ha! I was looking at those in the shop recently and wondering exactly the same

[vodkafan]

It's obviously a hollowed out asteroid

[DoctorPete]

Yep.  I was thinking an asteroid holding one part of the wormhole generator for a star system.

Off planet colony solar generator, build in some tubing coming from the bulb area with slits in it to let out light.
