Today, we will be sharing with our readers, how to construct their own, personal non rechargeable Lantern, with just your normal battery and wire. Also, the reason, we said that you should stop using candle, is because candle spoils your eye. So, go get your pen, pencil, and your other writing materials ready. Let us now continue.
Creating a light ( using bulb, battery, and wire ) is very quick, simple and easy. These are the materials you need.
1. Light Bulb
2. Battery.
3. Wire.
You should not use normal wire, in construction of this type of lantern, we use an insulated wire.
4. Electrical tape.
It is normally black in colour.
5. Wooden base.
something like a plywood. The work of the wooden base, is to help you in mounting the circuit, that is your connection. The wooden base is where all the connections, is being carried out. Your place your battery, wire and bulb on the wooden base. You must not always use a wooden base, so sometimes uses plastic, for their connection.
6. Scissors.
The work of the scissors, is to help you in cutting the wires.
7. And lastly, another material you can use us switch, but it is not compulsory. The switch can be of any type.
Picture, showing the general materials use in the construction of lantern.
Steps On How To Construct Your Own Lantern, With Just Battery, Light Bulb, And Wire.
You can learn these basic facts about electricity, by wiring a bulb to a battery. The aim of wiring the circuit, is so that the current from the batteries, will now flow directly through the wire to the light bulb, thereby lighting it. Let us now go to the steps, on how to do the connection.
Step one :
Connect your wire to your battery. You know that wire has two end. So, connect one end to the battery, and tape it with an electrical tape.
Step two :
Join the other end of the wire to the light bulb. See the picture below, so as to understand what we mean.
Step three :
Once you are through, with connecting the wire, to both the battery and the bulb. You can now connect your light bulb. Once you are through with connecting your light bulb, you can now place it on a wooden base. But before you place it on a wooden base, you are to first of all test it before, placing it one a wooden base. You can test it by using the mouth of the battery, and touch it to the bottom of the light bulb, to know whether, it will flash light. See the picture below, to know what to do.
Once you place it, and it shows light, you can know place it, in a wooden base. You can introduce a switch, if you want. The work of the switch is to help you to off and on the light, at anytime of your choice. But, if you decide not to use switch, then you can only off the light, by removing the wire, either from the bulb, or from the battery. See the picture of a light bulb, connected with a switch below. ( The type of switch used here, is the one that when you close it, the light will switch on, but when you raise it up, the light will turn off )
See the picture when the switch is closed, and the light is on.
See the picture of when it switch is open, and the light is off. But you can use any type of switch of your choice. The main work of the switch is to on and off the light.
We use this type of light bulb, because it is the only type that we can find. Know that you can you any type of bulb, even a white bulb. Let me show you the picture of what we are trying explain.
Know also, that no matter the type of light bulb you use, the steps are still the same. If you are using the type of light bulb shown above, if you want to connect the wire to it, this is what you should do. Turn the back of the light bulb. But first, Connect your wire to the battery, you want to use. Then, use that wire to be touching the small metal, at the back of the bulb, you should keep on testing it, until the light bulb shows light. Then, you can mark that place, because it is will where you will be connecting your wire. Your can use tape, to join the wire to the small metal head, at the back of the bulb, your can use tape, or soldering iron, but we choose tape because, it is readily available to get. You can use a wooden material as it base, you can use anything. You can even use carton, if you want to design it.
And That is all for this teaching. In summary, remember that you can use any type of battery. You even use a tiger battery. See the picture of a tiger battery below.
Note that, the size of your battery, or should I say the voltage of your battery, determines the strength of your light bulb.
