Well I have 4 large plastic pumpkins, a smallish ceramic pumpkin I made, and then however many real pumpkins I buy.
The plastic ones have a lightbulb and a cord with no switch so I use them outside but undercover if it's raining. I usually use candles in the ceramic one and the real ones of course, but last year I bought several packets of those glow-in-the-dark sticks (the ones you can get at a dollar store) and put them in a few of the real pumpkins...it actually worked a lot better than I expected. They stayed illuminated regardless the conditions, weren't going to short out and were as bright if not brghter than a candle.
It's a neat thing to try for a few pumpkins but nothing will ever beat the good old candle
