Schantieman BS: light bulbs- lifetimes- switched on/off? (25) RE: BS: light bulbs- lifetimes- switched on/off? 07 Feb 08


Unless someone better qualified in physics than I am can explain it to me (and that's probably most of you since I didn't get a very good A level), my understanding is that the switch-on surge can't be very much larger than the normal current or the fuse/circuit breaker will blow/trip.

n'est ce pas?
