The Light Bulb Challenge is one of the most popular Energy Awareness activities that we supply. We all learn best and absorb more information when events are fun and interactive, and the Light Bulb Challenge is the perfect for energy awareness sessions. The Light Bulb Challenge will really engage with your guests and tangibly shows what energy is required to power basic household items.
Are you ready to take the Light Bulb Challenge at your next event? Players have to harness pedal power to produce electricity. They need to pedal to light all 10 lights on the display. Once all 10 lights are lit, the fun begins. The LED timer will start. They then need to pedal at a constant speed to maintain the power and keep all lights lit. Should their power decrease and if even one light goes out, the timer will stop.
We will record the times of the players on a Top Gear style magnetic strip leader board, supplied as standard. An addictive activity, most players will return on numerous occasions to try to beat their personal best.
The Light Bulb Challenge will really demonstrate how much pedal power needs to be created to keep even the simplest household items supplied with power. Most of your guests will not believe the amount of effort required to illuminate a bulb. It really is a brilliant eye opener, a fun activity that works really well as an educational tool.
Reasons to Hire the Light Bulb Challenge
1. Energy Awareness – Power required
Most people have no idea of what energy is required to power any household items. The Light Bulb Challenge will demonstrate to your guests the amount of human activity (using pedal power) that is required to power even the most straight forward of appliances.
2.Prevention
‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ Benjamin Franklin once said. This is no truer than tackling our energy usage issues. It is simple – If we did not use as much we would not have to produce so much. This would have a huge impact on the clean environment with the resulting reduction in pollutants from the manufacturing processes.
3.Money Saving – Not only in the workplace but at home as well
Wastage accounts for a huge percentage of a company’s financial costs. Often this can easily be eliminated. Just by turning off appliances that are not in use and turning of lighting in rooms that are not in use, will make a significant difference to the power usage and ultimately costs. This does not only apply to the workplace, but in the current cost of living crisis can be replicated by everyone in their homes.
