| One of the joys of being an international airline pilot is to visit the various foreign versions of Home Depot & Lowes.
I picked up a couple 250 VOLT, 100 watt bulbs figuring that the filament has to be #4 rebar. In an 120V system they burn much dimmer, of course, but at what wattage are they buring>

| Well, while the answer is 25 watts, I'm still stuck on whether I'd want to fly with international airline pilot "captianminibar" or not. I can show you some great places in Tokyo, but please give me the keys to the plane! |

| "while the answer is 25 watts" Since power is voltage^2/resistance and you are running at half the voltage, the power is 1/2^2 = 1/4, or 25 Watts |
