   What? You want be to give you all a complete education for free? You   
   have any idea what the word "typically" implies?  Yes, and stop light   
   bulbs have two filaments which if your tail lights are on (at night) and   
   you stop, they BOTH come on. But it is not a "typical" Edison bulb.   
      
   So what does this have to do with high powered LED flashlights being   
   fluorescent while all you guys are talking about PN junctions and their   
   currents?
