This treasure is one of my favorite light-up props from Deep Space Nine. Coming to us from the second season episode "Rivals", wherein Martus Mazur acquires the sphere in prison and then proceeds to replicate larger versions for his new casino on the
Promenade. This little sphere has a battery powered circuit which controls the pattern of light-up LEDs covering the surface. There is also an input for an external power source to run the internal fluorescent bulb. The prop builders really packed a lot into this cute little package.
a non-commercial collector of Star Trek costumes. I have been collecting since Christie's held the now-historic 40th anniversay auction, and I'm afraid to say, there is no end in sight. I collect on many different levels: love of the character, passion for the design of the costume, and an amazement at the materials and workmanship involved in the creation of such magnificent pieces of "art". I find that I am constantly drawn to the costumes from Star Trek Deep Space Nine since that series holds the most interest for me, but my collection represents most of the various series and films.
