Dear Engineer Community,
Hello, My sister and I are hoping to create a sculpture that requires a battery powered light bulb. We are currently in Moscow, so the light bulbs here run on about 220 VAC. First, is it possible and maybe even worth the effort to run this type of bulb on a battery source? We were thinking of using strings of LEDs to light our object, but it does not fit our criteria for how it should look. This picture is our inspiration.
. 
I have only taken basic electronics in college this past fall. Any advice or suggestions for other means of achieving our vision are greatly appreciated. Thank You
