6 Volt 0.1 Amp M.E.S. Lamp E10 Fitting

6V 0.1A M.E.S. Real Light Bulb

This is one of the two 6V 0.1A real light bulbs supplied in the kit.  You may see them described as having a 100mA rating.  0.1A = 100mA.  Flashing real filament lamps at their full rated voltage does tend to break the filaments quite quickly, but there is something a bit special about seeing a real light bulb being driven, showing that some substantial current is flowing.  M.E.S. stands for miniature Edison Screw.  E10 refers to the 10mm diameter of the screw-in base fitting.
