   ** Bad idea.   
      
   Incandescent bulbs provide a better solution for live sound apps.   
      
   They allow all transients and normal levels through and rapidly compresses   
   ( without distortion ) exceptional levels  -  like feedback howls -  to a   
   tolerable level for the HF drivers.   
      
   OTOH,  a Polyswitch cuts the sound almost right off ( without any warning)   
   and takes quite a while to re-set after tripping.
