Default 8V 40mA bi-pin lamp (Marantz)


"Black Iccy"


And just for kickers, the forward conduction breakdown from each diode, in
turn, ought to be lower than the reverse destruction breakdown voltage, in
my
experience anyway. Therefore a single dropping resistor would be
effective.


** For interest sake, I checked a few 5mm white LEDs in stock for reverse
breakdown.

Each exceeded 21 volts with reverse current under 3uA ( maybe nothing)

Be fine with a 12.6V AC heater supply and ONE resistor.

There is NO flicker.
