Hi Ben! Thank you for making this more detailed video explaining the basics - I’ve been recommending your instructables page to people who ask me for details of my box. Now I’ll also point them to this video.
Hi Faiz - if you mean a regular light bulb, like the kind you screw into a lamp, then no. They operate using alternating current (AC) and this circuit is battery-powered direct current (DC). If you mean a high-powered LED, then yes, but you need to take the power rating of the resistors into account. My video on LED resistor sizing may help you: ruclips.net/video/EeCh68a1GEg/видео.html
The Instructables page has links to where you can get the parts (it's old so some of the links might be broken): www.instructables.com/Childs-Toy-Light-Switch-Box/
Hi - sorry this reply is 2 months late - I now have two kids and hardly have time to reply to RUclips comments. You can use a DC wall adapter - the kind of plug that has a little box, if you look closely the text will say something like "INPUT 120 VAC" and "OUTPUT 5V" meaning it takes the 120 volts from your wall outlet and converts it to a lower DC voltage. How to do that is more than I can really explain in a RUclips comment and I don't really have my own video on it, but you should be able to find other tutorials for it.

Thank you! Glad it was helpful.
@@BenFinio Ha ha, yeah. Well, I suppose it is helpful for everybody who ask me for schematics :)
@@GeekDetour3DPrinted Thank you for answering :)
0:10 my baby keeps pointing at the light switch and saying, “Dooooo!” The back pain is real!!! Thank you for posting this!!!
Can i change to larger bulb..eg 12watt bulb ?
