A new form OF portable lamp. the
light from which is adjustable, is being
brought out in Germany, according To
the London Electrician. A small spiral
resistance in series with the lamp and
switch is mounted above the battery.
The resistance can be readily varied
by h motion OF a small knob at the
side OF the case, the brightness Of the
lamp being thug altered within the linn
Its OF maximum intensity and n dull
red glow. This enables current to be
economical when only a small! amount
OF light is needed, %prolonging the life
of the lamp and battery. The resist
ance Is also useful In preventing the
tendency to oyerrun the lamp unduly
when a new battery is substituted for
the old one.
