The transformers used in the -54 games can put out up to like 8vdc for feature lamps once rectified. Lamps are nice and bright but they burn out quick. Common op hack was to use an extra bridge bolted to the metal mount bracket to get a extra V-Drop across the diodes in the bridge making the lamps run cooler and last longer.
I left this hack in my black pyramid because the feature lamp voltage, specially when low load LEDs are used, was like 8vdc without it. Certain LEDs lamps where getting hot enough to fail and melt.
this is the extra bridge circuit which drops 0.8vdc-1.2vdc from the feature lamp bus. Burns it off as heat into the metal bracket bridge is mounted to.
