Making Your Own Light Bulb Using a Jar, a Pencil, and Two Bolts

Summary
A Short from ProShorts 101 illustrates the process of creating an incandescent lightbulb at home, using basic materials including a jar, pencil lead, bolts, and a candle.
The jar serves as the bulb, the pencil lead as the filament, the bolts to hold the lead in place, and the candle is to burn out oxygen before sealing the bulb.
While the video may be considered clicktrash, it provides a creative take on the historical invention of the incandescent lightbulb by Thomas Edison in 1879.
For those seeking an energy-efficient option, the LED lightbulb is the recommended alternative.
The LED lightbulb was the topic of a Hackaday article from 2013, offering a comprehensive guide to its creation.
