Funny that the back EMF theory as a cause of destroyed bridges had
occurred too. Maybe I should install a small snubber, (perhaps a 1.0
ohm resistor in series with say a .10uf capacitor across the bulb. BTW
the bulb is very common and about 9.00 dollars. Lenny.

I'd install an NTC first. It'll help much more than any snubber.
