Can one of you erudite gentleman help a poor
mechanical man?
I have an low voltage light that is too
bright. At night when I lower the gear it tends to flash and upset my
night vision. Right now the bulb is out of it, which is good for the
vision and bad for the warning! I would like to dim that
bulb.
How do I go about calculating the value of the
series resistance in ohms required and the wattage of the resistance? I
used to be able to do this at high school but a lot of years have intervened and
I forget. I can measure the resistance of the bulb, the voltage is 12volts
and where do I go from there?
Thanks
