In a few situations the bulb can influence the process. Specifically, for those who use salt or baking soda electrolyte to speed things up, or running the no-salt process a really long time trying to make high ppm. Enough current flows that the bulb begins to glow dimly. There is enough voltage drop across the bulb for the electrode voltage to drop considerably, towards 15 volts in my old setup as an example. We're talking currents about 20ma, which is pretty darn high. So it can serve as a really crude process current limiter for some setups. Be well, Mike D.
