Well duhhhh. The idea of an inflammable liquid in the bulb is the whole
enchilada. Mixing it with dish soap makes the liquid mixture more apt to
stick to whatever it lands on. As the light bulb's tungsun filament begins
to heat up to a glow, eventually (microseconds) the bulb explodes because
of the expanding gas produced by the flammable liquid.
