Diode Connection Mode MOSFET

Hello! Someone suggested this "If the MOSFET is put into diode connection mode (connect the gate to the drain), you can force a small current (I recommend 1 uA–10 uA; 1 mA would probably be OK; 100 mA would result in significant power dissipation and could influence the results) and record Vds (which is equal to Vgs in this...

Using an incandescent lamp as the "resistor" for a zener/avalanche diode regulated supply

The recent post on using a lamp in series to limit potential fault currents has had me thinking about using them as above. Has anyone done this? I can see advantages, cost for one - wirewound resistors can be expensive. Visual indication of a varying load. Make it "short-circuit proof"..
