OK, I left something out (saying to use 6V, or clarifying what "big
enough" means). That's no excuse to stick in something that doesn't

Mark,

If I may interject here ... The discussion was about connecting 6V
lamps to a 12V supply. As you said, you didn't mention anything about
changing the supply to 6V. It's perfectly reasonable for Doug to
assume you were still talking about a 12V supply. End of story.

Respectful regards,

Mark
