Do you think that would work ? For example, we've got
4 spots in the kitchen. Filaments are obviously very
different from LEDs, but I wonder if there's a chance
that one bulb might somehow reap the benefit, leaving
the others as vulnerable as they were. I just don't know

If those 4 spots are already drawing 400W through an
inductor, would a 25W or 60W then turned on benefit
from the surge-suppressing qualities of the inductor ?

I did briefly think about a single resistor in the fuse box
but I'm not a registered electrician and don't want to
monkey about with house wiring. The power rating of
such a resistor had me a little concerned, and I feel more
comfortable with each bulb having its own resistor or
whatever
