When an incandescent light bulb (the normal round ones that Thomas Edison invented) is placed into a "hot" circuit, (meaning there is electricity flowing through it), the electricity passes through the filament (little metal wires) on the inside. As the electricity passes through it, the wires heat up and make a chemical reaction causing light to be emitted.

What simple machines make up the base of a light bulb?
The simple machine that makes up the base of a light-bulb is just a screw. That screw allows you to insert the light-bulb into the base of a lamp. You must make sure to get the grooves of the screw lined up to properly tighten the bulb into place.
