I had one of these things, and used to bring it to games.  I would argue against using it.  Basically they are rocks with the bottom hollowed out and a light shoved up the anus.  While you might be able to find a way to make such a thing battery powered, they are heavy, relatively unstable, and the light on the inside probably wouldn't survive more than a few events before getting broken.

I concur with Jeremy.  My brother uses one as a night lite, they are that dim.  They are also AC powered, so theres no real way that I can think of, besides replacing the entire unit, with a battery and bulb.  Stick to the battery operated candles, they seem to hold up well.  I have six that I bring with me, that I bought for $15 each that are bright enough to light a room.

Here's a good link:

I have some salt lamps I use at KR, but they're a pain because they require a plug.  I can only use them because I set up the forge where there is power - without that, they are not worth it.

Related question - does the Monastery have electric power?

Yes, the building designated as the Monastery at Shehawqua does have power.  You may need to flip a few breakers, but it works. ;)
