Hi.
I have just got my hands on a fairly massive lightbulb and wondered if anyone could suggest what use it was likely designed for.
G48 globe (6 inch diameter)
G38 bi-pin mogul base
Markings:
3200 ° K
Westinghouse
2000w
125v
Ideally I' like to hook it up at some vastly reduced power for a bit of mood lighting. Is it sensible doing this using a resistive dimmer? what about a triac dimmer? Local supply here is 230v.
According to my fairly nasty multimeter the beast has a resistance of about 0.7 ohms.
In any case, it certainly looks very cool!
