Night-light

Description

No too long ago, I got some miniature bayonet base bulbs… FOR 130V! So, I made a night-light that’s quite a contrast to my LED bottle-cap nightlight. ( See my tutorial here: [link] ) Ironically, since the LED uses resistors, though this incandescent bulb uses about twice the power, it also provides about twice as much light! BUT, don’t go fingering it while it’s plugged in. :D

I looked for the bulbs after seeing a Medusa head that used them in the mouthes of the snakes at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas. [link] I kept looking at the winding filament, knowing good and well they weren’t 12V.

130V, 2.6 Watts (measures 2.3W at ~125V)
