| yesterday | comment | added | Ste Kulov | One thing worth noting when dealing with bulbs (if you’re not already aware) is that they have a cold resistance and a hot resistance. If you attempt to measure the resistance of a bulb that’s off with a meter, you’ll get a completely different reading than when the bulb is under normal operation (glowing and generating significant heat). It’s important to know when doing the math and validating the answers below that model the lamps as resistors. | |
