Two Lamps in Parallel
Connect two lamps across the same two supply rails and compare them with the series version.

Two Lamps in Series
Place two identical lamps in one current path and compare their brightness with a parallel circuit.

Switch-Controlled Lamp
Build a simple loop in which a slide switch turns a small lamp on and off.

Lamp and Fan in Parallel
Recreate manual Project 29 with separate lamp and motor branches across the battery.

Lamp and Fan in Series
Recreate manual Project 27 with the lamp and motor sharing one current path.

Photoresistor Lamp Dimmer
Recreate manual Project 28 by placing a photoresistor in series with the lamp.

Pushbutton Electric Light
A pushbutton variation of manual Project 1 that lights the lamp only while pressed.

Magnetic Reed-Switch Lamp
Replace the manual Project 1 slide switch with a magnet-operated reed switch.

Tilt-Activated Lamp
A position-sensitive variation of manual Project 1 using the three-terminal tilt switch.

Vibration-Activated Lamp
Use a vibration switch to flash a lamp when the board is tapped gently.
