1. A replica eye with programmable iris illumination, the replica eye comprising:
a programmable lighting element having a planar base with a plurality of electrical pins outward of a centrally disposed light source;
a transparent cylinder extending between a first and a second end, wherein the first end overlays an upper surface the light source so that sidewalls of the transparent cylinder evenly distribute light emitted from the light source, and
wherein the second end physically couples to a semispherical object with a hole for receiving said second end.

5. A replica eye with programmable iris illumination, the replica eye comprising:
a programmable lighting element having a planar base with a plurality of electrical pins outward of a centrally disposed light source;
one or more electrical connections electrically coupled to the plurality of electrical pins;
a transparent cylinder extending between a first and a second end, wherein the first end overlays an upper surface the light source, wherein the first end and said upper surface of the light source are approximately coextensive; and
wherein outward portions of the planar base and their electrical connections are folded upward to extend generally parallel with the sidewalls of the cylinder to an elevation above that of the light source.

|
12. A method of making a replica eye with programmable iris illumination, the method comprising:
electrically coupling one or more electrically connections to a programmable lighting element having a planar base with a plurality of electrical pins outward of a centrally disposed light source;
coextensively abutting one end of a transparent cylinder to an upper surface of the light source; and
folding outward portions of the planar base and their electrical connections upward to extend generally parallel with the sidewalls of the cylinder to an elevation above that of the light source.
