As a followup to an excellent article by a similar title, I quote from a GE data sheet: "All GE Halogen lamps are designed without diodes. Diodes can cause lamps to flicker, especially at low wattages. GE's diode-free construction means no annoying flicker, just natural white light." My question is "why diodes at all?" -- Save water! Use disposable diapers.
