A solar bottle bulb can be used to light up a garage or fort.The bulb can cause permanent damage to the roof as well as invite outdoor elements into the home, so it should not be used inside a permanent structure.Adding light to a temporary structure can be done with a solar bottle bulb.
Step 1: The best place to put the bottle bulb is in the home/room.
If you need a light source the most, consider where the majority of the living is done.
Step 2: There are vulnerable areas inside the structure wherepuncturing the ceiling could cause structural issues.
Walk through the home and evaluate which areas can't be compromised.
Step 3: Is it possible to install multiple solar bottle bulbs?
If you want to create bulbs from empty soda bottles, you have to evaluate your space first.
Step 4: Pick up empty plastic bottles.
Remove the label and wash the bottle.The bottle cap should be kept.
Step 5: Pick up a gallon of distilled water.
The water scatters the light and the bleach prevents the growth of algae in the bottle.
Step 6: You will need to seal the bottle with household industrial sealant.
Step 7: Pick up a small handsaw if you purchase sheet metal to surround the bottle and lay along the top of the roof.
Step 8: Measure the top 1/3 of the bottle and transfer it to your roof.
Use your handsaw to cut a hole in the roof."Make-a-Solar-Bottle-Bulb-Step-8Bullet1." is a small URL.
Step 9: The extra piece of sheet metal should be transferred the same way.
Draw a circle for the bottle measurement and then draw a large square around it.The sheet metal has a square and circle on it.Put the bottle through the hole.The bottle should fit snug and allow 1/3 of the bottle to hang down through the sheet metal."Make a Solar-Bottle-Bulb-Step-9Bullet1." is a small URL.
Step 10: The bottle should be filled with water.
You will need to add bleach if you overfill.
Step 11: The bottle should be top off with bleach.
The bleach can be allowed to enter the water without shaking the bottle.
Step 12: Put the cap on the bottle.
Step 13: Attach sealant around the base of the bottle by sliding it into the sheet metal.
Make sure you add a liberal amount of sealant in order to prevent rain and other elements from escaping through the hole.
Step 14: The bottle should be dropped through the hole in the roof.
M-Seal can be used to adhere the sheet metal to the roof."Make-a-Solar-Bottle-Bulb-Step-14Bullet1." is a small URL.
