This LED tree top star is actually quite interesting inside. Quite hard to find on eBay, but maybe that's a good thing as it flashes and strobes quite a lot.

-or alternately paint the inner part of the star white and diffuse all the LEDs out to change the effect

The casing on this light was pretty nice so how about plain white, non strobing/flickering but maybe with a circuit that makes the light slowly vary in brightness as if viewing stars through the atmosphere. That would be very nice.
