If your not mechanically inclined or don’t have the time, get a friend to do it. First you will need to buy a normal tiki torch, a flicker light bulb, a light socket with cord and plug, and cheap metal cutters, which you will find at any normal hardware store. Take the torch and unscrew the oil bottle, throw it away. Take your metal cutter and cut the rim around where the wick went, just large enough for the light socket to fit comfortably. Then just run the wire down the back with some scotch tape or fastener, so it cannot be seen. I drilled a whole through the bamboo, but that’s a lot more work. You can do this for under $15.00! If you have any questions email me. Hope this helps!
