That clause

[notletrest]

"This suggests that dimmer bulbs burns longer, that there is an advantage in not being too bright." I don't know what is the function of the second that clause. will you give an other example. Thanks a lot!

[Curt Jugg]

This is just an alternative way of writing: "This suggests that dimmer bulbs burn longer and that there is an advantage in not being too bright."

This suggests that dimmer bulbs burns longer, that there is an advantage in not being too bright.

The underlined part is an asyndentic (no 'and') coordinated object.

There are two that-clauses functioning as part of the object of "suggests" in this sentence:

1. that dimmer bulbs burns longer
2. that there is an advantage in not being too bright

.

This suggests that dimmer bulbs burns longer.
+
This suggests that there is an advantage in not being too bright.

This suggests [[that dimmer bulbs burns longer] and [that there is an advantage in not being too bright]].
This suggests this and that.
What does it suggest? This and that (=coordinated object).

Inasmuch as I use the term, it is probably not new to me. Where is the usual sting in your deliberately antagonistic comment? Ahh, you mean the typo? Asyndetic?
You know what, Jed? Jed? Is this your name? It is a great honor to have someone like you to follow my comments letter by letter. Thanks for your rapt attention. However, you would make an even more favorable impression on me if you just entertained someone else with your brilliant wit. In a less formal and more certain terms: Take a hike!

That was addresed to other readers, who might not be familiar with the word.

You appear to infer what is not intended,

I did not even notice that

Nothing personal - I try to read most of the posts in the 'Ask a Teacher' and other forums carefully.
