Quoted from Mikedenton49:

Surely PBL realizes that voltage isnt the issue, well, in a sense. I find it absolutely impossible to believe the GI is pulling 35 amps and stressing the rectifier. Yet, an inspection of the evidence says it's so. Hmmmmm....

Its not the rectifier that's the issue, the problem you are seeing is the transformer is not able to support the additional load.

Quoted from Mikedenton49:

Pin_Guy, aptly named, could you please elaborate a hair more? See any potential solutions?

I'll try to get you more information later, I have to head out now to get my practice in for the state championships next weekend.

Thanks for posting the fix, I'm shocked a 35 AMP bridge wasn't cutting it. Yo'll have to post a video of the lightshow!
