I am new to incandescence and am reading and learning as much as possible.
Seen posts on the importance of having the minimum resistance in the switch , particularly Mag switches.
I set about trying to measure this with a conventional Ohm meter and its just not feasible.
However I am convinced on the importance of minimum resistance and set about finding more info.
One needs an Ohm meter that reads milliohms.

Found a great DIY article how to make one for under $40.

After reading the article, go to the last post for an up to date parts list from mouser.

Think I will give it a try.
