Re: Light powering - voltages?

I tore apart one of the PSUs i spoke of before. there were some potentiometers inside labeled VR1 and VR2. VR2 happened to be the one that regulates the 12v output. got it up to 11.8v with the lights on, 11.7v without them on (weird). but it is close enough to 12v and is a constant voltage.
