Gregory's Server@Gargron @jk I like LED bulbs but I don't like that in a 3-bulb fixture I've got 3 crappy power supplies stuffed into a really small space, getting hot and ready to fail, instead of one really good power supply that'll last until the caps dry up and then swap the caps out. If I do ever get around to putting solar panels up, I'm just gonna run DC to the ceilings (they're up high anyway). Heck I'm tempted to just run all my lights off an old JAMMA switcher

 @Gargron @jk The LEDs themselves work on something like 12v or 24v DC, and here in the USA the supply voltage is (supposed to be) 120v AC, so every bulb needs a bridge rectifier and a voltage regulator and etc etc, all of which is less reliable than the LEDs. Especially when they've all gotta be stuffed into a tiny space to fit into a lightbulb. It really should just be a DC supply for each room or maybe each floor of the house, but we're not there yet. |
