Light Bulbs or simply Bulbs are obtainable items in Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill: Origins.
Silent Hill 2[]
The canned light bulbs
The Light Bulb can be found inside a can in the kitchen on the basement floor of the Lakeview Hotel. After opening the can with a can opener, several ordinary light bulbs can be found packed inside. The light bulb is used to turn on a lamp in the "Venus Tears" Bar, in order to light up the surroundings, specifically a door which cannot be unlocked otherwise.
According to Lost Memories: Silent Hill Chronicle, the canned light bulbs are a reference to the surreal Czech film Alice. While the film contains no canned light bulbs, Alice encounters a useful item (a key) inside a sardine can, inspiring the absurdist idea.
