NEPA takes light so often in Nigeria that rechargeable lamps have become almost essential. Recently, I started learning how people actually build them — and the process is more interesting than I expected 🧵👇 A basic rechargeable lamp mainly needs: 🔋 rechargeable battery 💡 LED light 🔌 charging module 🔘 switch 📦 casing That’s the core setup. The battery stores electricity. When there’s power supply, the battery charges. When light goes off, the stored power runs the LED bulb. Simple idea. Very useful. Many DIY builders use: 18650 lithium batteries, LED strips, or small LED bulbs. Some even recycle batteries from old laptop packs. One important thing I discovered: The charging module is extremely important because it helps: ✅ control charging ✅ prevent overcharging ✅ protect the battery What surprised me most is that many components are available locally in Nigeria through electronics shops and online stores. I’m gradually realizing that many everyday devices we use are actually less complicated than they appear. Sometimes curiosity is the beginning of practical skill 💡
