L'Amp: A simple SIT Amp

[Michael Rothacher]

Is 15,000 views enough to crack open the Christmas Ale?

[Tea-Bag]

Sure enough - even if your on the job. It's the holidays.

Please, I am looking for a source for this 300W/120V bulbs.

The only thing I find, are halogen bulbs.

Usable for this purpose? I dont think they have the needed resistance value.

It most certainly is. Maybe have 15 of 'em

[Michael Rothacher]

That settles it, then. Prost!

Franz,

You can determine the resistance of one of the halogen bulbs by hooking it up to a DC power supply and measuring the current. You can always use several in parallel to achieve the desired resistance. I've never tried other bulbs, so I don't know what to expect.

And, there's always the resistor route.

franz you have a pm , i think i will not use mine... my chassis is too small

i will go with a 10ohm 300W ohmite resistor , hope it will sound as good?

I think so. Chatted with a guy who made the D-Lite with a bunch of 100R 25W ones, and he loved it with horns. Of course the sinking for such a beast was not trivial. He used most of Solid State chassis for resistors, and popped the transistor on it as well.

with this one you don't have heatsink but 72W watt of dissipation on a 300W resistor could be ok?

woodturner-fran was it, who used halogen sticks in the Delite amp? Check the Delite thread.
