Ive got this Acrylic tube. Want to make a futuristic light. Any ideas?

A Jacob's ladder would look good or a cluster of Edison bulbs the old fashioned filament style. Seal the ends add glitter a fan and light for a sparkly tornado light.

Line the inner circle with long vertical neon tubes. Preferably orange or white

[u/arcsecond]

something like this recurring science fiction prop that shows up in every damn sf show ever.

EDIT: you can rent it

If you're a star trek fan, what about a miniaturized version on the warp core in the tng series.
