Hi Joylon.....


what you are seeing is the outgassing of the bulb...    the pot you are 
thinking of increases the amperage to the bulb... it doesnt increaese the 
bulb gas pressures...

eventually the bulb will degas to minimal operational values and die....

they arent made to last a lifetime     resurection of the bulb is futile ( 
weird but it reminds me of the BORG ;)   )

enjoy what you had while it lasted....


apply a T coil to it and give it a good funeral...   :)
