If I remember it right the lifespan increases by 7 times with a 10% decrease in voltage. I guess a 240V bulb working on 120V would outlast the life of the radio station. Light efficiency (power in - light out) is not that good though. 3.5x life if 12th power (e.g. 0.9^12 = 0.28) _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
