If the bulbs are run in series, the current through each bulb is the
same.

True

If the same type bulbs are used, each will be the same brightness.

Not true. While the current is the same, the voltage across each bulb
will not be the same because of the voltage drop across each bulb.

Wired in parallel, the voltage at the far end is lower because of
voltage drop along the wire as the OP said.

I think you have your series and parallel circuits mixed up. You will
definately have a lower voltage at the far end if you wired the bulbs
in series, but if you wire them in parallel, and assuming you use a
heavy guage wire and a high KVA power supply, you should get little or
no voltage drop at the far end.


Think out what you're saying. In series the bulbs will be the same
brightness. This statement is dead wrong: "You will definately have a lower
voltage at the far end if you wired the bulbs in series"
