Light bulb filaments of a vehicle involved in a collision can provide valuable information about the state of the vehicle's lights at the time of the impact. Through examination of bulb filaments for hot or cold shock, accident reconstruction professionals can gain information about which bulbs were and were not illuminated prior to the collision. A number of papers have been published on the general topic of hot and cold shock, however there is little published research about light bulb voltage and how it relates to filament distortion. Although a normally functioning electrical system of a passenger vehicle will operate at around 12-14 Volts, vehicles that have failing electrical systems or that have experienced damage to their electrical system may deliver less than full voltage to the bulbs. In order to help answer questions about vehicles with sub-optimal electrical systems, this paper focuses on the relationship between hot shock deformation and bulb voltage.
