No, no test. Just a problem for discussion. All the incandescent nightlights I have in my house are 240 volt 6S6 bulbs. I put these in - in the year 2000 and they are still working. The 6S6 bulb has a base like the old Xmas tree bulbs. The 60 watt bulb operating at 240 volts draws a quarter amp. If you operate it at 120 volts the wattage reduces by one-half. The current is the same a quarter amp. 60 divided by 240 = .25. 30 divided by 120 = .25.
