After working on a SMPSU (or any power supply for that
matter, but
especially a switcher), I usually power it up to test throught a
light-bulb. [...] Has saved me from "secondary catastrophic
failures" on more than one occation.
And I've heard people talk about banning incandescent bulbs entirely.
Stupid ideas spring eternal....
