[Amps] Thermistor's.

[Gary Smith]

LOL,

I remember making a full wave bridge to handle the lights in my dorm 
room back in the 70's... Each light got a full wave bridge so was 
running on DC, Idea that was to prolong tungsten filament life... 
Coincidence or not, I do not recall any light bulb burning out while 
on the bridges.

I do remember turning off said lights depending on the lovely 
situation...
