Making your own screw-in LED light bulb is a great way to save money and to go green. An LED is a light emitting diode, and some companies offer regular screw-in bulbs with the incandescent part replaced with LEDs. This helps save money because LEDs use less power and last longer than regular incandescent bulbs. Another added benefit is that LEDs generate close to no heat so less air conditioning is needed to deal with the heat given off by regular light bulbs.
Instructions
1
Place the screw-in light bulb plug down in front of you. Unscrew the plastic replica bulb off of the socket and place it to the side. You are going to use it in another step, so do not lose it. Place down 10 LEDs in a line in front of you. Twist a wire lead from the first LED to a wire lead from the second LED. Twist the free wire lead on the second LED to a wire lead on the third LED. Repeat this twisting process until only the first and last LED have a free wire lead.
2
Twist the free wire lead from the first LED into the positive electrical post on the top of the screw bulb plug. Take the free wire lead from the 10th LED and twist it onto the negative electrical post. The posts have a plus and a minus symbol next to them to denote their polarity.
Wrap all the exposed wire leads in electrical tape, but do not wrap them together. Wrap the wires separately to keep them from shorting the circuit. You are making a simple series circuit, and shorts will break the entire circuit. Do not cover the light emitting parts of the LEDs with tape or it will cut down on the light given off.

Push the LEDs into the plastic bulb and then re-screw it to the screw-in plug. Screw the plug into a light socket (with the socket off) and then turn the light on. If the light does not come on, then one of the connections was not twisted properly and came lose. Take the bulb apart and re-twist all the connections to be sure.
