Re: Green Camera Light Questions

Thanks RyanN. I will discuss this method of battery power with the electrical engineer and hopefully we will have much better results.

Re: Green Camera Light Questions

When I made the lights for my team's practice feild I decided to put 2.1 mm plugs on the sides and use 12v 1a wall bricks to power them. They seem to work fine and i haven't experinced any problems. Also I placed two 12v fans similar to the ones on the Victor speed controlers so that there was a constant air flow through the box to keep the cathodes cool.

Each of the lighting kits says it takes 0.7A. Multiply by 4, and that's 2.8 A. We also add two 80mA fans, for a total of 2960 mA. I'd encourage you to have at least a 3A power supply. I've never seen any wall-warts that large, but you can use a computer power supply, or similar. Or just use the old batteries.
