This is something I have wanted to do for a while. Each circuit compares different loads, from left to right, the first one features a resistor load, the next one a lamp, and last an LED.
Each load has been configured for 150 ohms@3Volts which equals to 20mA@3Volts.
So, my conclusion:
LEDs are LEDs, they do not represent loads such as lamps, drivers, circuits, etc. LEDs are to not represent a load that isnt an LED.
Lamps and resistors behave the same way, as I've concluded from this test. Maybe because lamps use filaments which have their own resistance acting as resistor that its lumenosity changes by the voltage and current going it.
I might be wrong about some of this, what do you think?
