Current through wire in a (near) vacuum - Re: IoT

I've actually gone back to incandescents in the Man Cave. They are still sold for 'industrial use' in the UK. Might get a Variac for lutz with the desk lamp.
It is winter, so central heating is on a thermostat, which means that the extra few tens of watts of heat energy being dumped into the house by the tungsten filaments will just lengthen the pauses between the combi-boiler kicking in by a few seconds.
Was getting headaches with the energy saving bulbs. We have one LED based luminaire that pulses different colours a bit like a lava lamp. Gets used now and again. Fun thing.
