How to wire lamp connected in series ?

These all Lights/lamps are connected in series. Each lamp is connected to the next one. The flowing current is same in all these incandescent bulb /lamps but the voltage are different.
Good To know: This is not a suitable wiring for home or building. Because the effect will be that two or more lamps will be very dim, and removing one lamp will cause others to go out. 
Disadvantages of  this circuit.
  • the failure or removal of any single lamp will break the circuit and cause all of the others to stop working.
  • As more lamps are added, they will all be reduced in brightness. because voltage are shared in series circuit. 
Advantage:

  • Less size of wire cable is required in this type of wiring.
