I thought it was over
I thought that after retiring I wouldn't have to smell burned up electrical parts anymore. Last year I wanted to add LED lights to my FW but also had a ton of other stuff to do. I didn't want to make ...

Actually normal is the lower the voltage supplied the higher the current draw which is why most electronic devices burn up on low voltage.
You have been given some bad information.
"Most" electronic devices, when presented with an input voltage lower than it's design limit just simply stops working.
Now some motors in heavy duty applications can attempt to draw extra current if the voltage drops......but that doesn't happen without some control circuitry being involved. Most often when a motor burns up from low voltage it's because it overheats due to overload, meaning that it can't supply the necessary energy to move the load anymore and overheats as the rotational speed goes down.
I=E/R simple says: if the applied voltage goes down, so does the current flow.
Thankfully a post from someone who understands how electricity works!
