One more note: The resistivity of tungsten increases with temperature. It is more than twice as high at 3100 degrees K (the temperature of tungsten emitting 3200K color temperature) as it is at 1700 degrees K. Thus, any cooling will lower the filament resistance, drawing more current, heating the filament. There is no other current regulation in an incandescent lamp.
