When you guys purchased the 15w emitters, what was the forward current advertised. My guess is that it was 1A. Am I right?
Wait a minute, I guess they would be 1.5A? Is that right? They don't even advertise them anywhere anymore, so I have no way of finding out except through someone who has used them before. Electricity has always found a way to confuse the shit out of me.

I've even been zapped a few times by 30 Amps! Only because the guy who was supposed to be the teacher running the glass blowing class would not spend any money on getting new parts for broken equipment. My blow pipe would hit the elements in the annealer because they stuck so far out into the heating chamber. That place was a joke.
