I am a recycling geek. So just added a simple bulb from a old torchlight and a plastic bottle. The switch is made from copper tape, so when I make contact from bottle top (funnel) to bottom then buld lights up.

you should add aluminum foil around the bulb housing in order to focus the light like a regular torch.
