Wanna get real light going through those tubes, it'll be good practice for wiring lil LEDs. Not married to any size aside from less than a foot at the widest. Any ideas for things I could kitbash or random materials I could use?

Fiber optics for bow sights. Use LEDS to light them up and and sand the sides of the optics to diffuse the light.

I misunderstood the scale. I was thinking of miniatures.

Miniature is fine and that's good advice. I think I can take apart a couple laser pointers from the dollar store for the ends. It's that grounding part that's a puzzle as well.

I can go a bit bigger but I like the idea of smol

Edit: one of those tiny lengths of red Christmas tree light meant to cover short cords could work, one of those lil four bulbs on a bit of wire dealies. Two in each side and then a thin fish tank tube might do the trick.
