Fine

Run you small wire and have fun.

I am wrong, I am always wrong and have my head up my *** .

I guess all the engineers that up size wire for efficiency are wrong as well.

Iwire,
Please read up on series wired circuits. If there is no voltage present at the light, there is no current flow ,therefore the meter will not spin.

Sure, as soon as you tell me where I said there was no voltage at the lamp.

What I said, and already pointed out is that the resistance of the circuit was so high the lamp was not producing light. (at least light that can be seen by the naked eye)

Apparently you assumed no voltage.

I agree with you and "the engineers" that increasing efficiency is good.

The cost of the higher and higher efficiency is the subjective part of our exchange that is nuanced, resulting in "engineering choices" (read compromise).

Some of the costs of higher efficiency I am reluctant to expose myself to.
