[Amps] wirewound resistor inductance/capacitance parameters

[Shane Youhouse]

Dunno about that, Carl, the Halides and Sodiums have an arc tube in them that, IIRC, is designed to fire at app 600 volts.

It's not just a piece of wire in them..

I HAVE seen 250 and 300 watt incandescents at lighting supply stores.  Those would be ideal.  The arc-tube lights common in roof installations of wharehouses (1 Kw) and stadiums (1500 watt) are not a constant impedance, and are very high impedance (I just measured a cold 400 HPS replacement for the outdoor light going back up today, and it wont measure on my DMM...  It measures to at least 50 Mohms).

Transistors have ratings, tubes have guidelines!

For 160 you can probably do that with a couple of warehouse/stadium wattage 
lightbulbs. Measure the reactance and add the opposite sign to cancel.
