I hate to think what it would do to any kind of power supply in a light.
Also, this kind of tthing can create a lot of RF interference on 'odd'
loads. As you say it sort of works with ordinary bulbs, and in the past I've
also wired them in series to give a similar effect two at a time.

I'm rewiring corridor lights,
it will have pendants with LEDs or fluorescent bulbs.
But could i also add dim lights for night time
- what sort of bulbs?

Decades ago I hotwired a diode across a switch
which cut out half the AC signal when switched off,
would this work with modern lights?
