show us your dim light bulb tester
#7

I use a variac most of the time but I also built a dim bulb tester.  I used my 3d printer to make the case, and it uses 3 bulbs that can be switched in and out.  It has another switch that can be used to bypass the bulbs, and yet another to bypass the ammeter if I am testing something that draws more than 1A.  There is a digital volt/amp meter that measure the voltage applied to the load as well as the current drawn.
