The one I remember playing with was the high beam fillament of a headlight, and it had rather different characteristics if I remember right (although I may not). It might make sense that the big fat fillament I was using falls off much more quickly than the relatively much more delicate fillament you tested. Of course I may just be plain wrong remembering events from 35 years ago. I have some old auto headlights with high beam only fillaments left, but not where I am right now. Actually this is something James should do on his bulb. It should only take a few minutes with a variable power supply and multimeter. ****************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, (978) 742-9014. #1 PIC consultant in 2004 program year. http://www.embedinc.com/products -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
