The idea is to keep the costs down and keep it simple for the end user to be able to personalize their wind lights. The main base is made out of a non-conductive material that has holes, either random or in a grid pattern. These holes are threaded to allow the light rod to screw down into it.

Unused holes could have a lowcost rubber o-ring and standard screw placed in the unused hole to keep out moisture and contaminants.

There are two conductive plates on the top and bottom of the base assembly that don\'t corrode or oxidize so they remain low resistance and highly conductive.

When a person wants to place the lights in the grid all they have to do is to unscrew the hole they want to use and screw the acrylic rod light down into it.

The light rods can be different lengths and widths. The user can purchase as few or as many light rods and can add on to the unit as they have the money to do so.

The LED, driver circuit and other electronics are contained in each light rod. By doing this, each light rod could be addressable and not have to be white but could be any color. Each rod could be any color and could be set via remote control (please see the video link I posted for improving the underwater light idea).
