Re: What bulb voltage?

Okay, this is what is says on the bulbs: 2.5v 0.2A. Okay so the problem is,
how do you go about getting a bulb that gives the same light output, but is
not going to be current overated? Rich.

I would try to find a similar sized lamp with both a slightly higher voltage rating (to increase life) and also a slightly higher current rating to produce the same light output power at a lower filament temperature).
