Could there be a voltage spike when the voltage swings back up?

More likely is the vibration. Frequent partial dimming

doesn't bother light bulbs at all.


The battery will easily consume full alternator power after being forced
down to 11V. There won't be overshooting when the load is removed.

Vibrations definitely kill filament light bulbs. Tungsten is springy
but brittle.
