How do you get a light bulb?

Answer 1

It depends on what the lightbulb is for... For standard household, there are 3 size bases that are seen in most households. The most popular is the "Medium Base", or "Standard Base", which holds most any standard household bulb. There are smaller bases called candelabra base which many new light fixtures are using and it can be easily found at most stores that carry light bulbs. The 3rd main type is a mogul base, this is generally used in heavy duty or commercial applications and can include many different type of light bulbs from incandescent, Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium among others. These are the main type of bulbs seen in many typical streetlights seen along residential roads or country farm houses. If the reference is for anything else including a cell phone, most other items (outside of automotive) are usually proprietary and you need to contact the vendor themselves to see if the bulb is replaceable.

Answer 2

First you need a 6 volt battery ( not a car battery) and two wires, a small jar, cork stopper for a lid, a 1-inch nail, and a iron wire (can be a unraveled picture hanging wire). You connect the two copper wires to the battery and on the other end after putting a hole in the lid tie the other two ends to the iron wire. Then tie another wire around the nail. You may want to use a lightswitch so you can turn on and off the lightbulb. After that you have a light bulb.
