[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 58283, member: 126"] Re: School is in Brilliant... :-) I wonder how tolerant a LED or CFL lamp is to 2x over voltage. I notice CFL do not vary as much as incandescent with normal mains variation, so maybe stick a CFL lamp in just the last holes of each row to add some excitement. It will try to regulate for a while until it exceeds it's input voltage range (my speculation). It would actually be pretty representative of electronic products (ASSuming it releases smoke) because the CFL has electronic circuitry inside. Of course watch out for mercury if the CFL explodes. While LED lamp is probably too expensive to sacrifice. :-) JR [/QUOTE]
