CONGRATULATIONS

YOU DID IT!

Additional kits are available at

If upon completion of your circuit the light does not turn on 

check the following:
•The metal foil covers the tab of the battery holder
•The paper clips touch the foil
•The battery is positioned so that its two ends are touching the 

foil. Squeeze the outside tabs of the battery holder to see if this 

helps. If the light turns on then the connection is loose so make 

sure to secure the rubber band around the battery for a tight fit.
•Try connecting the battery directly to the light bulb to insure 

that the light turns on. You may need to remove the connection 

between the switch and the lightbulb to do this. All the 

lightbulbs have been tested. If you dropped your lightbulb it 

may have broken (make sure the thin filament on the bulb is 

connected)
•Make sure your switch is correctly wired  to the light and that all 
the components of your circuit are attached. 
•If the circuit is still not working try a new battery.

If you are still stuck, go to

There will be some additional illustrations under the DIY lamp 
instruction page.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Test your switch by pushing on and off to 

make sure the light goes on. If it doesn’t 

check your connections and your wiring. 

Refer to our trouble shooting guide.

Once everything is working, lower the box 

top over the box and secure. The top should 

snap into place on the base below.
