The voltage dropping resistor approach is OK, but I prefer the Capacitive-Reactance voltage drop method. The old-fashioned ballast tube, cushioned the warm-up of the tubes. The cap method does the same, without having to us inrush limiters.
Perhaps I am missing something here, but wouldn't the peak inrush current be higher when using a capacitor vs a resistor as an ac dropper?
