Back in May, this list had a discussion regarding Ohm's Law and the
resistance of light bulbs. I posted a question on the following series
parallel configuration:
/-----X------X-----\
----- -------
\-----X------X-----/
vs. a single configuration:
---------------X----------------

assume R is constant) will guess that the four lights *together* will be
brighter than the one alone ...
