Fellow techs, correct me if I am wrong, but I have done this with many makes. The standard 120V lamp is simply a "resistive dummy load" for the power supply.Like a big 8 ohm resistor connected to an audio amp's speaker terminal. I have seen some power supplies get damaged without this dummy load,because some run away without their load.You want to connect the bulb to the B+ INPUT trace of the fly,otherwise you are pulling DC current thru it's windings, and may damage it(flyback).Most main regulated B+ outputs from these power supplies going to the fly/HOT runs around 90 to 135 VDC. (the PC monitors sometimes go about 80- 90VDC), but this is still in the usable range for a standard 120VAC incandescant 60watt light bulb. I have a ceramic bulb base(like you see in an old house at the ceiling) on a small wooden board and two wires with clips on them.One to ground,other to B+. Also the brightness and constance of the bulb is a visual indicator. Another use: I also use this bulb arrangement in place of the main AC fuse where the original was blown, and I am troubleshooting the PS.Mostly to see if I have cleared a dead short.(Dim= normal AC current, bright=short....this rule is for the AC fuse,not the PS dummy in the flt ckt). Sometimes the simple gadgets are the most useful. That amd my Dick Smith ESR meter...another story! Phil Phil Bader, Pres.
