From post #46:
Yup, you're right. Speed-reading is not always a good thing.
Nevertheless, I've reverted back to incandescent, having removed the series and parallel resistors under the chassis needed for LED operation and reconnecting the lamp wires direct as original, and incandescent the 700-T Stereo Beacon shall stay. Should I experience this problem in the future, though, I will try the 1K across the LED itself at that point.
