sorry, but this doesn't even count as an instructable. i'm no expert, but you kinda need pictures of parts, and explanations, and a good idea. boo.

I think its dangerous too. Imagine the heat the small lamp creates with this overvoltage.

This project does not deserve front page on this web site. Couldn't find a rating lower than -7.

I think the world's worst Instructable (by rating) is this one at -30:

sorry, make that -79 (damn internet explorer)

...ummm are you like 7????omg!! a 9vlt wont even power a lamp bulb i dont think!!!and like pharoahthis isnt 2nd grade!!

Can I point out that instructables is NOT a second-grade science class!

I don't see any difference between this and the multitude of LED instructables throughout the site. Andy's use of an incandescent bulb makes a much more practical emergency light source than an LED would.
May 4, 2007. 6:23 PMpharoah says:
How so? If you have a flashlight bulb you probably have a flashlight, but I have many LEDs that were never part of flashlights at all. Incandescent bulbs are little heaters, and actually make very poor sources of light from an efficiency standpoint. Everyone is familiar with wiring up a bulb, but LEDs are instructable-worthy because they take more care and can be ruined easily with too much voltage.
May 4, 2007. 10:25 PMLasVegas says:
So... You're telling me that you can wire a 1.5v incandescent bulb to a 9v battery and it will work fine. With all of the LED instructables here that show the incorrect way to connect an LED, few of them were Instructable worthy; anymore than this one is. BTW: As it currently is, you can't get as much light from an LED as you can from an incandescent bulb. When the technology is improved enough, perhaps. But right now, a filament still has a place.

maybe you can suggest stuff instead of being mean...

If you would look at the discussion (from last May!), I was defending this instructable, saying that it was a good and valid instructable.
May 13, 2007. 7:25 PMpharoah says:
I have to agree with you there. Bulbs are cheap. Whenever I get a "broken" string of christmas lights, I always make sure to take them all off :)
Jun 30, 2007. 6:30 PMstatic says:
In desperation I tried a 6 V. bulb in a 12V. automobile application. Don't last long at twice the voltage. I doubt a bulb feed three times it's rate voltage either. As for incandescent Vs. LED in regards to emergency lighting, it's all relative. Just so many factors to declare one over the other

I think i agree with many of the other comments... HUH? I may have missed something in the english to english translation. Is this an instructable on running a flashlight from a 9-volt instead of 2x AA's for increased brightness? And is the cellotape holding it all together? What happened to steps 1.1 through 1.9, wherein you explain what you actually did?

what the crap.

absolute waste of time and space
May 5, 2007. 6:05 AMlemonie says:
This is rather poor. Images are not good, and it lacks details. In fact there is virtually nothing in here which shows how you made this.
The main point may be that overdriving a fillament bulb gives a very bright light (until it fails)? However, you don't mention this, or what voltage the bulb was designed for. Can you edit this so that it's more informative?
Doesn't look like you have a soldering-iron, are you making all the electrical connections with tape?

So you take apart a flashlight, to make a flashlight?

Technically, if there is no electricity, there are no batteries either. I'm not sure what kind of post-apocalyptic future you envision in this instructable, but the future without electricity is grim.
