Quoted from Star_Gazer:How do you know the right direction the current flows with these Lamps (resistors) ?
You have #4 backwards positive voltage always goes to the center pin.
Quoted from Star_Gazer:Can you make a good example based on this pics, since all this stuff is pretty new for me to!
If you are using a #44 bulb, it would be 6.3volts @ .25 amps.
Three #44 bulbs in parallel would be 6.3 volts @ .75 amps.
Three bulbs in series would be 18.9 volts @ .25 amps.
Quoted from Star_Gazer:Difference between Parallel and Series:
The parallel transformer should read 6.3 volts. Nice drawings by the way.
Quoted from Star_Gazer:Burning lights question: Too much Ampere and/or Volts will burn my precious lights, right? How much can they handle (extra)?
The bulbs filament draws amps in relation to the voltage. The higher/lower the voltage the higher/ lower the amperage. The manufacture designed the bulb for a certain number of life hours, when you raise the voltage the amps increase, the lumens increase and life hours decrease.
