Now I am just dreaming at this point, but I would like people's opinions on the feasibility of this:
I would like to take a 12 volt fog light bulb (or the whole module if necessary) and power it on 2 908 or 918 cells wired in series. I will also need a switch and a body (screw-top or box is fine, I'm not picky. This will mainly be as a toy, but I could see some pratical uses for it. Are there still 6 volt automobile bulbs being made at all or were they completely discontinued. I've seen some auto bulbs at the grocer I used to work for but cannot remember if they were 12 volt. Modern car voltage is 12 volts (correct me if I'm wrong.)
I am wondering if anyone else has tried this and is it easy enough? Also what is the brightness and runtime I can expect?
I am welcome to all answers...
