They do what now?

In an Ohmic resistor, the current is *proportional* to the voltage.
There is no magical way with which you can "raise the quantity of
current" to make up for a drop in the applied voltage.


Switched mode power supplies are anything but ohmic.


I'm well aware of that - but if a switcher needs to push more current
through a filament bulb, the only way it can do so is by increasing the
applied voltage. This is not what the first two lines (quoted) of this
post say.
