Bright Betty How-To & Parts Kits
Make Your Own Convenient,
Ever-Ready, Off-Grid Lamp In A Jar
I created the Bright Betty Bam-A-Lamp emergency lighting-in-a-jar design back in 2011. My intention was to create a web site with a how-to tutorial, but I never finished it. Then, in 2022 I put together a YouTube video (see below) showing exactly how to make a Bright Betty. That video went viral and the Bright Betty Bam-A-Lamp is now a worldwide phenomenon!
​
If you would like to make your own Bright Betty Bam-A-Lamps, check out all the videos below. Update: As of June 26, 2023 I no longer sell parts kits.
IMPORTANT:
This open-flame emergency lighting device is not UL approved and is a potential fire hazard. It should be used with great care only by responsible adults and NEVER left unattended. Do not make one of these lamps if you are not willing to assume all responsibility for any damage it may cause.
