Do not do this instructable. If the tinfoil touches each other, the battery heats up and...boom. I was tampering once,and i left tinfoil touching each other connected to battery for liek 1 min and boom.

Good idea on making it more compact. The only reason why mine has two batteries is because it makes the bulb give off more light
