The bulbs in there when I found the lights were 55/60's, but who knows.

I played around with some chrome paint this weekend and found that, for
starters, the reflectivity is less than desired. How do they get the
chrome paint on the cap to look so good...? If the chrome paint
reflected enough, I wouldn't be worried about the heat, but this stuff
won't cut it. Guess I'll hold out for vacuum metalizing.
