A drinking glass base apparatus having a wide base ascending to a narrow top, the under side of the rigid base being hollow and open all the way through the narrow top; a machined lip on the inside of the base to accommodate a partition member; a partition member housing electronic components consisting of a battery holder powered by a battery and activated by an on/off switch supplying energy to an LED. An LED is mounted to point directly up through the top of the narrow portion of the glass base, but extending only a short distance up into the narrow top of the base. A hole at the top of the glass base is machined larger than the hole opening provided for the LED so that the transparent stem of a drinking glass can be inserted and permanently fastened into the top of the narrow base to allow the light from the LED to be projected up into the drinking glass when the switch is turned on. A flat removable membrane material is at the bottom portion of the glass base to conceal the underside of the drinking glass base, and the base will vary in color as will the LED, being one of a number of colored lights.
