Dim bulb tester socket 300watt

[Fjellreven]

Hello i am making a dim bulb tester and i am using a 300watt incadescent bulb.
Is this a good enough socket

IT says 750v 4 amps but i have never purchased something from bender Wirth.
I am aware that most tube radios dont take 300 watts but you never know.

Looks like overkill to me. You only need a Walmart style lamp socket.

I would use something that is more stable and won't have exposed wire that can easily touch or short something. Some thing like this mounted to a board.

The light bulb reduces the amp's voltages so amp attached won't pull full power.

I dont trust Amazon at all and yes this Will be mounted on a board i just wanted to know if the brand is of good qualty

I think it is important to match the potential power of the device under test with the lamps, otherwise they will not illuminate brightly if you have an issue to investigate.
I used two sockets and two 40 watt bulbs in parallel. One bulb can be removed for a more sensitive tester.
What are you testing?

I am using a 60 watt lightbulb to test a sølvsuper 8 but i am going to use the same socket for higher powered stuff.
