Bulb filament resistance is highly variable, according to time. It starts out as virtually a dead short, and increases rapidly as the filament heats up. Simply using an ohmmeter doesn't work. An oscilloscope is better, but we're dealing in milliseconds as the filament starts to glow. A variable resistor for experimentation purposes would be a good solution, then measure the resistance where the bulb response is best.
We've spent an inordinate amount of time and effort just to accommodate a stubborn refusal to use the right part for the job- - - -kind of like humoring people who try to use two carburetors on an inliune six! All fun and games in an effort to ignore the proper solution to the task at hand! Jerry
