How Do You Make A Crack Pipe Out Of A Light Bulb

[Marie Ota]

Empty incandescent light bulbs can be reused for numerous crafts, decorations, and science projects. Opening a light bulb can be a little tricky the first time, but the task is very doable once you know what to expect and how to manage it.

After the insulator has been removed you can see the inside supports of the filament and the fill hole. In the old days bulbs were evacuated of atmosphere to keep the filament from oxidising and burning through. Now days the glass envelope is back filled with an inert gas like argon. The keeps the filament from burning through and makes the bulbs safer.

You can now shake the filament assembly out of the tube. If the tungsten wire is still intact you could probably find a good use for it. You could make another light bulb if your stuck for something to do I suppose.

and he has a pipe. He had a pair of snippers, snipped the top off poured salt in from McDonalds, dumped it out, inserted his meth into the light bulb, flame to bulb, then took the pen apart, insert into bulb and smoke.

you can skip steps 8 and 9 by using clear light bulbs, no bothersome/hazardous powder removal. i would recommend this route untill we know what that powder is, as this government is notoriously scared of unidentified white powders.

I am a teacher trainer for elementary science and would like to show teachers how the lightbulb works. Do you know of a way to take off the bottom of the bulb to show how the wires are attached to the metal collar and how a wire comes out the bottom?

hello, now i know how you hate people refering to drug stuff with this, but here is a tip for cleaning out the white powder. put a little salt, a teaspoon or two, and heat it with a lighter or candle, when it starts to melt together, shake it around the light bulb. this workes very well,and it helps get any tiny bits of glass out. just ask any methhead homeless dude.

to make a hole in the glass use a blowtorch and put it on the spot you want the hole then make that sm=pot red hot. blow into the light bulb whil its still red hot, and bublble will apear. it will pop, leaving a hole. if you are a pussy, then use some of that white medical tape or threadig tape, wrapp some around the metal base of the light bulb, and put a bottle cap ion it. make a hole in the cap and use a staw or hose in the cap to blow air into the bulb. by the way,, dont get cought doing this, cuz itsd how you make meth pipes.

What about making your miniature garden inside the hollowed up bulb? I think it could be easy to find the appropiate blend of sand and fertile material. Any seeds, humidity, temperature, light and patience could do the rest.

Alvaro: Absolutely! Using a light bulb as a terrarium is a brilliant idea! That opens up a whole new world of possibilities for your little environments. Moss, cactus, green plants, you name it and it should work. Way to go!

something interesting to do w/ the light bulb is making it into a small vase for a plant. after u hallow it out, find a long (about half the size of the lightbulb), slender piece of glass or metal. tie a long sting around the piece or glass or metal. insert it in the lightbulb, then pull the string. this should allow u to hang the bulb. i but a piece of ivy in it and hung it around a curtain rail in my kitchen. dont forget to water it. *remember to change the string every so often because the water could break down the string*

Thank you so much for this. I was looking for a way to poke a hole in a bulb, but found this to be so much cooler. I needed to make a project for my intermedia class, and this was the first thing that came to mind.

My plans for the lightbulbs will include an attempt at a fresh herb garden, and using some smaller (thinking appliance bulb size) bulbs to make a spice rack. I think the rack itself could be up-cycled from coat hangers or other wires and assembled in a similar manner to a wine bottle rack.

Seriously? It’s made of a light bulb, tape, a bottle cap, and a straw or tube. The quality of the materials couldn’t be lower quality if you tried without making a vapor-based death machine.

Not only do you not really have temperature flexibility, but most of your vapor pathway is plastic and you’re vaping it on the inside of a light bulb. It’s potentially very dangerous and the vapor can’t even cool before it gets to you so it will likely be pretty hot and harsh. Also, there’s no screen so have fun inhaling herbs.

Starting in 2017, we added some lights along either side of the driveway so we could really bring the forward/back dimension into our show instead of everything being constrained to the up/down and left/right dimensions predominant on the house. These lights look like incandescent light bulbs, but are illuminated by a single LED pixel inside.

It took some searching, but we finally found an inexpensive light bulb container online for about $1 each. These are actually meant to be party favors and they have a rubber stopper in the mouth so you can fill them with candy or whatever else.

The light bulb rails were a perfect candidate for our favorite building material: PVC pipe. We were able to build both light rails with just eight 10-foot sections of 1.25 inch pipe, 4 elbow connectors, and 16 tee connectors.

Perhaps a higher quality drill press would have made a difference. As it was, our drill bit kept wandering and despite the holes entering the pipe along the same line, the exit location varied wildly. In general this is fine, as long as the aligned side is ultimately facing up and is where the bulbs mount. We also had several instances of the drill bit biting too hard into the PVC and getting stuck, or chipping the pipe or even breaking the pipe significantly as happened on two occasions. All in all, the drill press was just not helpful so we moved on to using a hand drill and doing multiple passes with increasing bit sizes. This worked well enough but it was still challenging to get the exit points to align.

We cut apart each pixel from our strand of bullet pixels and soldered them together separated by about 10 inches of wire into sets of 5 with connectors on both ends. Four of these sets make up a single light rail. As with all of our wiring and cable making, we used small heat shrink around each of the three individual wires with a larger heat shrink around the whole bundle.

Once the pixels are in place, we screwed the metal threaded section back onto each bulb and carefully pushed a bulb over each pixel. A little bit of hot glue around the base holds them in place. Again, be careful about alignment here too as the hot glue sets. Once all the bulbs were in place, we assembled the frame, plugged together all of the connectors and were able to test each light bulb rail. The final step was to add some black zip ties just to keep the wires from dangling too low.

Each light bulb rail shares a 12V 30A power supply with the snowmen on its respective side of the driveway. On the tree side of the driveway, they share an ESPixelStick Pixel Controller with their corresponding snowmen. On the mailbox side, we actually use a Sandevices E682 Pixel Controller. See the LED Snowmen page for diagrams showing how the two elements are wired.

Siegfried, The lamp itself is a 120V lamp. The vintage lightbulbs we used in our projects are 120V. If you use a 125V switch with a 220V bulb, it will not work and could be a fire hazard. Especially if your electrical wall outlet is 220V! What is the voltage of your wall outlet? In theUS, it is typically 120V, however, I realize many other countries use 220V, especially in Europe.

I wanted to make a Steampunk lamp out of old light bulbs for a long time but I was always busy with other projects. Recently I finally got to it by making an instructable on how to open a light bulb without breaking it which is in some way part one of this instructable.

On the front light bulb I used my soldering iron and some solder to attach it to the copper pipe and it made the hot glue holding the LED to melt so just use hot glue to attach it as I did with the rear light bulbs. ...Learn from my mistakes! :P

LED stands for light emitting diode. LED lighting products produce light up to 90% more efficiently than incandescent light bulbs. How do they work? An electrical current passes through a microchip, which illuminates the tiny light sources we call LEDs and the result is visible light. To prevent performance issues, the heat LEDs produce is absorbed into a heat sink.

LED products use a variety of unique heat sink designs and configurations to manage heat. Today, advancements in materials have allowed manufacturers to design LED bulbs that match the shapes and sizes of traditional incandescent bulbs. Regardless of the heat sink design, all LED products that have earned the ENERGY STAR have been tested to ensure that they properly manage the heat so that the light output is properly maintained through the end of its rated life.

In a CFL, an electric current flows between electrodes at each end of a tube containing gases. This reaction produces ultraviolet (UV) light and heat. The UV light is transformed into visible light when it strikes a phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb. Learn more about CFLs.

To make a hanging vase, follow the steps above for preparing the light bulb. Then drill two holes in the bulb base and attach floral wire.

Enjoy your new cute, upcycled vase! Have a happy day! Manda

Mercury, lead and other heavy metals all have the potential to be hazardous wastes. If bulbs are broken, burned or landfilled, metals and other toxic substances can be released into the environment. This risk makes it important to dispose of CFLs and other light bulbs properly.

Wisconsin has no legal requirements for disposing of bulbs that come strictly from households. Household waste is not regulated as a hazardous waste identified in ch. NR 661, Wis. Adm. Code [PDF exit DNR]. However, the DNR encourages households to recycle mercury-containing bulbs when possible. Residents should check with their local county recycling program to see if there are local restrictions for light bulb disposal.
