[ICOM] Need IC-765 Assistance

[Mort Arditti]

If you are determined to use a incandescent light bulb, use a series 
resistor
to drop the voltage by 20 - 30%.  It will be a bit dimmer  but last a lot 
longer.
The bulbs life will increase by approximately the reduced voltage ratio ^12 
.
In this case the bulb life will increase by a factor of approximately 20.
