Finally got the bulbs this week and tryed them out.
It worked sort of, the Light drained the power after
about one minute or so just what I wanted.
Strange thing is only one of the bulbs lighted up the
other one did not seam to be on.
Because they where wired in series I know electricity
must have gone through both of them.
What is going on, anybody know why only one light was on?
How do I fix it.
