series decreases the on/off cycles of the bulb, but I have been doing it for 1.7 years now. using the 4the wire can over drive upto 20%. like I said I have been doing that also for 1.7 years but my measured current increase was only 8%, Also my bulb ends are not to hot to hold.

Brad cut one of the red wires and cap it off and see if you still get to hot with 3 wires.
