Controls for my 18W LPS Tests

I used 5 different 18W lamps (1-GE, 1-VerdaRay, 3-Philips SOX-E). A spot temperature meter, a light meter, and a watt & current meter. I didn't bother with any voltmeters since I really didn't know how to measure the lamp current.

A clamp meter would serve you well. You'd simply need to put the meter around the cable going directly to the lamp and you would have the current reading.
