I'm not sure what the I-V curve for the lamp will look like. *(Is the
one shown here OK?)
Does yours look like the one in the wiki article? If so, I would vote
for a value between 100K and 470K. At 100K, a half-watt resistor
would be marginal, and I would go for one rated for 1 watt. Within
this range, the value is probably not too critical.
