Congratulations, you probably bypassed a safety feature. If they're in
parallel, if one burns out the other keeps going. In series, if one
goes they're both out, and the exit sign is no longer visible.


But if he'd have left them in parallel, they most certainly would have
both burned out long ago! :-p

Cheers,
Fred
