Chapter 7, Problem 16R
A post light has a 120-volt, 60-watt lamp installed. The lamp has an expected lamp life of 1000 hours. The homeowner installed a dimmer ahead of the post light and leaves the dimmer set so the output voltage is 100 volts. The lamp burns slightly dimmer when operated at 100 volts, but this is not a problem. What is the expected lamp life when operated at 100 volts?____________________
