Just bought Landlite and Philips Bulbs yesterday and test it out. The Landlite bulbs is 12v 35w and 50w (JC something on the packaging) run as high as 21v got really white and smoking(literally). This is definately a fire starter.
Data: Vbulb: [email protected](50w bulb) and [email protected](35w bulb)not sure about lumens but using common 12v 50w bulbs data could be around 5000lumens

The other bulbs that i bought, Philips 6v(EDIT: 12v) 20W bulbs i dont know what the serial is but there is a number on the packaging "886439" maybe means something. This bulb is really good and got as high as 25v and got really hot and smoking(again litteraly) as well. I dont know where the smoke came from as it is being held by KIU socket.
Data: VBulb: [email protected] or about 80watts. Using the hotrater formula about 4000 lumens.

I really like the philips bulb small amps(easy on battery), white, hot and bright. I think i will use this one on my next project.

FYI. Vbulb was taken from bulb's leg directly. Feeding method, direct drive (no soft start).

thanks.

6V driven all the way to 25v???

What was the life on that bulb?

6V to 25V? Thats over 4X overdrive. I didn't think that was even possible.

Worlds first 6V 100,000,000 hour bulb?

6/25=0.24
0.24^12=0.00000003652

Also, 3.23A makes no sense at all. It should be 3.33A when driven to spec. Overdriving should always increase current. Double check your methods. It should be over 7A at 25V if it were actually a 6V 20W bulb to begin with.

my gut says it's a 12V 10,000 hour bulb mislabeled or mis-packaged or misplaced in your testing.

Worlds first 6V 100,000,000 hour bulb?

If you turned it on right now, it would finally burn out at 11.56 pm MST on Aug 12th, AD 13,423.

That calculation does not take into account any power outages there might be during that time, lol
