So thats something I'd never consider. But a single 120 volter across each 63 volt supply would suffice for this I believe. And at a dull red glow, should last till the rapture. We have one "nightlight" that has 2 of those bulbs in it, in series. They are dim, but 20 some years old. I use it for the off load to absorb the leakage of an X10 lamp module whose other load is a string of ccfl and led Christmas lights we rednecks never take down. Otherwise they all flicker when they are supposed to be off. :(
