Year In Pictures: 2010/10/21 - The mystery bulb is a mystery

[plonq]

It came with the house, hung exactly as you see it here. It was obviously hung with a purpose, because it was first wired into place, then wrapped with several windings of tape to ensure that it would not move. There are no fixtures in the house that take a bulb this size. Behind it is a vintage 1978 map of Manitoba.

Damn, excellent idea! Though, simple Field Strength meters would do the same thing and even then were inexpensive, unless there was a difference in linearity using the bulb/photocell?

nowadays, you could plug all the resistance measurements into an Excel speadsheet and have it do all calculations and graphing! ^_^
