I bought two of these gargoyles, $29.99 each, for my cemetery entrance gate columns I’m building. They are heavy and I love the way they look. Perfect toppers for my 12”x12” Columns. I felt like they needed something more though.

First I had these tiny led lights. I mean tiny and both could run just fine with no issues off a 5v DC old phone charger.

I noticed the statues were hollow inside so I drilled two small holes very slowly in the eyes, gradually increasing drill bit size to the size of the led. I then drilled a 1” hole in the bottom to fish the wires through.

I placed 16 gauge quick connects on the wires before going into the column so that I can take the gargoyle off for easier storage. Looks much better with the lights!

Thoughts?

I haven’t even seen this at my local HD. Ordered the more expensive version from spirit. Not as nice

I love it, would it be too much to add a teeny bit of blood dripping off the gumline (like they were mostly neat eaters, but that little drip of blood escaped their notice)? Those look like really nice gargoyles, I have got to stay out of HD this year.

thanks for showing him up close. Great job on adding the LED eyes! Going to be looking for him at my local HD

The updated gargoyle looks fantastic, especially in the dark.
