ABSTRACT:
A lamp and lamp circuit apparatus are provided in which the lamp has a plurality of filaments operable one filament at a time and driven by a plurality of filament drivers. A filament failure detector circuit is operatively connected to one or more filament drivers for detecting the failure of the filament being driven. A circuit actuates a second filament in the multiple filament bulb when the filament failure detector detects failure of one filament, so that a lantern, and especially flashing lanterns, can have an extended lamp life.
