Gather all your supplies: scissors, lightbulb, light socket, wire cutters, extension cord, screw driver and wire strippers (not pictured).
Use the wire strippers to slice off about 1.5" of the rubber coating on the wire.
Strip both sides, and twist the copper wire together on each side.
Wrap each side around the corresponding screw, and tighten with the screwdriver.
Screw in the lightbulb, plug in the cord...
Voilà, you have a light!
