[QUOTE="Mark_M, post: 124631, member: 29098"] Most of the lights in here are solar lights running on mains. In this video I only have 4 lights not running on this computer power supply (they are AC or 31vDC). [MEDIA=youtube]Dos39scqpbw[/MEDIA] [i][size=2][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dos39scqpbw]View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dos39scqpbw[/url][/size][/i] I use a computer power supply for the 5v and 3.3v output on these lights. I started switching to voltage regulators on each string in 2018. But what I have here is solar lights that do not have reverse polarity. [hr][/hr] Have you measured 12v for these lights? I know a few of my solar lights had a buck boost converter but most of that style was 3v to the lights (all in parallel). If you know if the battery at fault, replacing the battery with a mains adaptor is easy. Otherwise just get a replacement NiMH battery found in the garden lighting section. This big spiral tree in the middle was Arlec Solar rope light. The Solar panel took 4 AAA NiMH batteries and had a buck boost converter up to 70v DC. I ended up using the original board and just fed 5v to it. [ATTACH type="full" width="156px"]19586[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]

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