Anyone know a good way to power a standard home lightbulb? I'm building a small bridge and I wanna try to build a streetlight-like thing next to it but I dont know if thats possible. Its too far away to run a wire to
pic related, the light I built but plugged in right next to my garage

Tell me more about this bridge

It runs across a small creek through a woods and to a field. Made mostly out of wood with a couple of metal bars that I salvaged from the surrounding woods

Solar panel + battery. Have the light come on with a photodetector. If the solar panel will ruin the look of the bridge just put it somewhere out of sight and run a wire to the light.

Thought about that, only problem was that it would take too many solar panels, and the area is pretty densely wooded

How many bulbs are we talking then? In the op you made it sound like you needed to power only one bulb.

Only one bulb, an average 120v 50w household one

Use a smaller bulb inside of a white globe?

Why not LEDs with the solar panel?

Just get one of those all in one solar LED things.

Small stream - any chance for hydro power? Can add battery and photo sensor.
