The idea is to use a light bulb as a bleed resistor, and coincidentally as a "dangerous voltages present" indicator :) Light bulbs also have high surge currents, and their resistance is very low until heated up. That's the opposite of the desired effect for an inrush limiter. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
