[QUOTE="Notenoughlights, post: 124634, member: 25585"] A lot of the solar lights I have pulled panels from and converted over to "mains" (31V through a standard plug pack that most sets of lights come with) have had 3 batteries in the solar panel, and measure around 16-21V when testing with the lights attached to the solar panel still and around 40-60V when disconnected. The lights at this stage are very very dull compared to a set of lights connected to one of the typical power supplies mentioned earlier. When these lights were connected to the same power supply they became equally as bright as the other set. It seems that they manufacture the strings identically and just slap a boost converter and solar panel on the string rather than a mains power supply. It wouldn't surprise me if they worked on a standard power supply, however you will need to test the closed and open circuit voltage to see what it's outputting. [/QUOTE]

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