flashlight also works.
Jeez, that was way too simple....even though i missed it.... keep it up.
It was very easy but scientifically interesting for beginners.
Okay, for a flashlight, I could possibly see spending $40 for a good one, but a light bulb??? Someone shut those convicts down!!!
i guessed a flashlight, but it works on a lightbulb. really fun.

I have bought custom light bulbs for more than $60, and unless you have an L.E.D flashlight, all flashings have bulbs in them. Though I agree a flashlight would work fine as an answer.
Woohoo! First science teaser ive ever answered! Yay!
i got that one cuz i watch star trek sometimes. im not a geek but hey as this teaser shows, you can learn from it!
A light bulb doesn't convert electrons into photons. The high energy state in the filament causes the electrons to jump to higher energy levels, and they then release that energy in the form of a photon.
