Yes, the lights are in the base. Mostly under the central + shaped window shining upward between the columns, and also some just inside the lower perimeter of the base to shed light out from beneath it on the ground to give the floating effect. There are also spotlights on the ground aimed up at it from a few feet away. But I'm not sure if it's battery powered or what. Guessing it can be plugged in. It's called "Geological Survey #3". Jeff
