[QUOTE="Mark_M, post: 117625, member: 29098"] This is going to be more fun added into the mix. But is 31v the highest score? Nope! :oops: I had an Arlec branded set of rope light. Solar panel took 2 3.6v Lithium Ion batteries. The thing outputted 70v to the string of lights. Absolutely mad. This is the rope light seen flashing on this spiral tree: [MEDIA=youtube]Dos39scqpbw:16[/MEDIA] [i][size=2][url=https://youtu.be/Dos39scqpbw?t=16]View: https://youtu.be/Dos39scqpbw?t=16[/url][/size][/i] I sent 5v directly into the solar panels circuitry. The two 3.6v batteries in series is more than 5v, but under powering it worked. I really wanted to cut out the flashing circuitry, but getting a 70v power source was too much hassle. In previous years I used DC buck converters to take 12v to a higher voltage, but I learnt the lesson that this is very inefficient and wastes soo much heat. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
