Desperate times call for desperate measures, so if you find yourself in a situation where you just don't have access to a good lamp try making a candle out of an orange and about a cup of olive oil. It will only take a minute. This YouTube video from the HouseHoldHackers?currently has almost three million views, so surely it must work, or at least smell good.
