All the globes are built for 12v like they always have. The voltages to most globes are 13v. Now we're seeing 13.5-14v in these circuits. This shortens the life span of these globes. It shouldn't be a problem but it is occuring in some models. The modified wiring doesn't drop the voltage by much. Newer 203's don't need the wiring mod, they aren't expereincing the fault.
