You have that the wrong way round Baz - the resistance of the bulb is the constant, it's the voltage that's the variable. As voltage increases and the resistance stays the same the current increases. Therefore higher engine speeds = higher voltage = higher current. always allow for this in calculating wire ratings. In the aircraft industry we used to do that, add 50 per cent then double it
