      Powering a light bulb is out of the question.

      Why? But if you’re afraid of light, you might create a heater. Very simple construction.

        Because light bulbs didn’t exist yet I guess, so you also need the knowlede to convert it into steady light source.

          I’m sure you have an overall understanding how light bulb works. Enough to make something workable after a few experiments.

            Sure, I’m not a glasblower, but I could fabricate a lightbulb that contains a vacuum and a hair thin wolfram wire.

            I don’t even know how to mine wolfram.
            Knowledge sadly isn’t everything.
