Can an Electric Eel power the lights on a Christmas Tree ( SPOILER WARNING: Sort of. )

The holidays are a time to embrace traditions, new and old. How better, then, to kick off the season than by charging the Aquarium s mad scientists with using the bioelectric discharges of an Electric Eel to light up a Christmas tree Although the lights are not actually POWERED by the eel, the intensity of their glow corresponds to the strength of the eel s discharges as detected by sensors in the tank that are connected to the Christmas tree.
