Game over. Lessons learned:

1. Pease hated solderless breadboards for a good reason: they introduce
   stray capacitance. After the solderless breadboard is removed the
   filament's current curve reverts to its true form with voltage and
   current in phase.

2. Filaments behave better when you use a brand new bulb in place of a
   filament from a broken bulb.

3. Don't conjure up spirits resting in peace.

The webpage will be updated with: corrected images of the current curve,
photos of a new bulb without a breadboard, an internal schematic of the
CoB LED, piglet's diagram, and a lab report.

Calculating the capacitance from the original current curve with a 
breadboard in situ would be fun. But the stray capacitance detour won't
be mentioned on the webpage to keep things simple.

This has been an entertaining side-show for me. I hope you guys had fun 
too. It beats doom-scrolling.

Danke,
