Default Re: Just metered my beds for the first time. Got some questions.

Hey - I thought you threw your 6.0 meter in file 13.

.96 is a 6.5 lamp in a 24 lamp bed
Not if the 5.0 meter (in same position) is reading 33.5. Then it's a 2.9 lamp. Sounds more like new era to me.

IF the 5.0 was reading down at 14.8 then it would be an old era 6.5 lamp. 0.96/14.76 = .065 = 6.5% B.

Perhaps you should send me your meters back for a re-cal check. They are getting older than dirt. Older than Don Smith now! I know they last virtually forever... but yours have been used and abused for a hundred duty-cycle years.

One duty-cycle year = 50 on-button pushes. The blue-tooth chip in your 5.0 tells me it now has >5000 pushes. It reads out on my car On-Star display and on my top secret ssl gps spy website.
