When the floodlight is first switched on, the resistance of the variable resistor is at its maximum value. In the following few minutes the variable resistor is adjusted so that its resistance decreases slowly to zero. This causes the brightness of the lamp to increase until it reaches a maximum. At maximum brightness, the current in the lamp is 12 A.
