From the resistance equation, the resistivity of a material is much lower at room temperature, and the initial current flow will be much larger than the steady state current (the rated current). A bulb which consumes, say 0.5 A at steady state can have ten times as much when first switched on.

[...] Another area which is not dealt with in sufficient detail is surface tension. Whereas the classical theory about the excess pressure inside a surface is easily derived in terms of the major radii of curvature R_1 and R_2, the angle of contact has not been sufficiently explained. It is assumed that the angle is zero for water and 135 for mercury, on glass. But consider the case of a capillary of insufficient height immersed in water–the radius of curvature of the surface increases, and does it not increase the angle of contact? Will the angle of contact change with temperature–it should, considering it is explained as a balance of forces. I look at these issues in detail in my page on Surface Tension. [...]
