Old timey bulb style fuse holder

[Austin]

I just thought of this, using an old time bulb socket style fuse holder in series with the mains power supply, you can screw a regular light bulb in there to limit the current (or brown sound maybe?) and for full power use a standard screw in fuse. Anybody ever done this?

I was testing out my amp and couldn't figure out why I was getting less power from the speaker than before and why my power supply was sagging so much and then I realized "duh hey I'm still running on the 40 watt bulb but look hey I could just screw in a regular old fuse in there!"

I don;t see why it wouldn;t work. Something to do with that box of screw fuses in the basement with no place to use them anymore.
