The DC current is much more suited for the light bulb than the AC house current was. Infact the 'Edison bulb' was designed to use DC, but would work at a reduced life span with AC. The reason AC was chosen over DC for house current was that it could be transmitted over longer distances with less transmission loss. So the 'bulb miser' is a valid product for increasing the life span of the incandesant light bulb. By the by, I do not own 'bulb miser' stock, just setting the story straight.
