Why ?

This sort of arrangement will hit the lamp with the mother of all
turn-on surges.

Once stable (tee hee), you've got an rms voltage comparison to a
buried reference that bears no constant relationship to anything else
in the circuit, save the NCP102's reference voltage.

What are you trying to do?
