It was long before i was born, lampu pelita were widely used by people in the past because there was no electricity. Pelita were used to light up the pathway and even in houses with different kind of design. Some pelita are made from bamboo and some are made from glass. Now i'm going to show you what can we do with aluminum cans.To make lampu pelita first of all you need to find two aluminum cans for 1 set of lampu pelita.
Second step, take one of the aluminum can and cut the base and make a hole for the wick placement tread. (for the wick placement i bought the gas piping adapter which you can get in any tool shop for BND2.50)
Third, you need to apply some silicone for sealing the thread, to avoid rainwater pouring inside the aluminum can.
Fourth, pull the wick through the piping using two smaller string.
Fifth, cut the other aluminum can to make a bigger hole to make way for the wick.
Finally, add some kerosene oil and put the wick on top of the aluminum can.
