Well, practicing alone, presumably with a jo or bokken, was probably how that lightbulb was put out in the first place. All other Aikido practice takes two... Unless the bulb is supposed to be uke, or maybe nage... Or why replace it at all? Just hold the bulb in the fist and use ki-energy to light it! Or do you even need a bulb for that?
