The hardest part of making the lighthouse was putting the wires in the tube. I found that hard because there were lots of wires and it stuffed up really quickly and it kept lifting the tube up! The easiest part was decorating! It was also the most fun (apart from actually working with electricity!), me and my group got to cut out pieces of paper and stick them on the tube.

The top tips I have are:

  1. When cutting out the paper, stack one on top of the other, then use a ruler to draw a base. Then cut!
  2. Stick down the tube on a piece of card FIRST then you put in the wires.
  3. Don't always leave the clippers on the bulb otherwise it will waste the battery.
