Incandescent lamps are very sensitive to changes in the supply voltage. These characteristics are of great practical and economic importance.
For a supply voltage V near the rated voltage of the lamp:
? Light output is approximately proportional to V 3.4
? Power consumption is approximately proportional to V 1.6
? Lifetime is approximately proportional to V ?16
? Color temperature is approximately proportional to V 0.42[94]
