Ok Electron heads...big question!
As others have said, a regulator & secondary transistor(s). AND a big
ass heatsink to carry away the 40 watts that the reg wastes (10a and 16-12 v). You'd probably be better to regulate down to 14v: better for the electronics & less waste heat. But the incand lamps wouldn't like it so much. Or are 12v lamps designed for 13.5v? Bob |

Bob Incans can take 13.5 no problem. Im told that LED lighting will do it as well. Maybe. -- "Virtually all members of [radical] groups sincerely believe that they are fighting the Establishment. In reality they are an indespensible ally of the Establishment in fastening Socialism on all of us. The naive radicals think that under Socialism the "people" will run everything. Actually, it will be a clique of Insiders in total control, consolidating and controlling all wealth. That is why these schoolboy Lenins and teenage Trotskys are allowed to roam free and are practically never arrested or prosecuted. They are protected. If the Establishment wanted the revolutionaries stopped, how long do you think they would be tolerated? --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

That's probably because many come with regulators wired in. -- The most powerful factors in the world are clear ideas in the minds of energetic men of good will. -- J. Arthur Thomson |
