RE: Schottky Diodes M3

you replace the bridge rectifier (KBU6J) with schottkys which comes before the regulator (LM7812 i think)

the schottkys do have a lower voltage drop across them which give you a higher voltage output to the regulator

the regulator puts out the same voltage regardles of input (within limits) so the voltage going out to your filaments is unchanged
