I was checking my lights and which was full beam and which dipped on my car in the garage late last night - turned out I had left the headlights on dipped. Seemed I could still see the images on my retina this morning.
Suggest pointing it at something vaguely shiny in the middle distance - 8m - car door or garage door or smoked glass - and looking at either the reflection or 'spot' generated.
Or put 6v across it - then you won't be dazzled. Or look at the filaments through gas-welding goggles. Or measure the current - 50 watts is just over 4 amps, 36 watts about 3?
