Per a previous post, I installed an 18v bulb on the output of my TIU and it did wonders like everyone said it would.
Has anyone ever used two 12v or 18v bulbs in series? The bulbs would burn dimmer and put out less heat and thus reduce the load wattage. Am I thinking correctly? Anyone ever done this.

Gray,

That's been tried. It's been found to be less effective than a single 18 volt bulb.
If one works better than two, one it shall be.
Thanks

What is it that the bulb does?

Always check the internet answer before posting a question.
FWIW. In my search I found this to “roll your own” without the heat and current draw. Might be useful. MTH DCS filter.
