What bulb voltage?
It's funny, but I think it is the case that sometimes the voltage of the
bulb in the thing you bought does not match the battery voltage. I'm sure
I've noticed this in the past, often the bulb voltage is lower than battery
voltage.
Now, with a 3v batttery source, you would expect that you need a 3v bulb. Is
this true? Of course, desired brightness (wattage) is then a matter of bulb
amperage selection. TIA.
