| A conducting diode can create a low-voltage bypass path. | |
| |
| That means: | |
| |
| \[ | |
| \begin{align*} | |
| \text{forward-biased diode} | |
| \quad \Rightarrow \quad | |
| \text{small voltage drop} | |
| \end{align*} | |
| \] | |
| |
| If this low-voltage path is parallel to a lamp or to part of the lamp chain, the lamp voltage becomes too small for bright operation. | |

| The diodes route the current mainly through low-voltage bypass paths. | |
| |
| Therefore, only the outer lamps receive enough voltage to light brightly. | |
