any electricians out there?

you could do that. all you need to do is cut the wire to the bulb and insert the switch so you can open and close the circuit. before you do this make sure that you check to see if it's possiable. remove the bulb you want to be controlled independently and make sure the other 3 are still lit. cause on the off position you will have the circuit open, you won't have current going to the other bulb in that circuit if its part of that circuit. lol if i am not making sense i can just draw out another diagram. i explain better with pictures

hey lorenz0, thanks and that does make sense. i'm pretty sure that should then since i've already just been running either 2 or 3 bulbs at a time and taking the other one or 2 out as it's just too bright. no matter what combo i take out or leave in the bulbs still fire fine.
