What is filament notching?
DC notching is a phenomenon that occurs to an incandescent lamp when operated on DC voltage. The Tungsten material flows in the direction of the current and stops when it has reached its elasticity point and then starts to flow again. This movement creates various weak points within the filament wire, shortening the average rated life by approximately 50%.
