Need to be precise to stop wastage
LED light used to symbolise current flowing through curcuit if switch is on or off. This is used to stop battery wastage, as battery replacement is costly.
Don't waste wire with too much. Measure correctly. Also with soldering - don't use too much tin. This will waste energy (power outlet) & Materials
Components
Switch
LED light for on/off
Jack Wire
PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
Screws (Need Drill (Need power outlet)) (To secure PCB to wood)

Efficiency vital
Less waste = less demand for materials = less factory fumes or more trees
LED light
Symbolises power, good for environment - battery doesn't waste and less batterys need to be produced
Rechargable batterys - reduces cost also
