      From: bretcahill@aol.com              The sealed-up-in-plastic power supply comes with the plug, 110v U.S. or 220v       EU.              On a 110 v AC U. S. plug the output appears to be 110 v DC and 220 AC on a       volt meter.              The LED part of the rope light plugs into the output of the power supply. It       looks like two rails go the length of the LED section which can be cut every       meter at a marked location. Some LEDs can burn out while the others remain       lit. The LEDs are in        parallel.              Do the LEDs run off the 220 AC or the 110 v DC?               The connector from the adapter to the rope has an orientation indicating it       might be DC. If so is the 220 voltage just extraneous, part of a simple low       power rectification?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
