Neon lights for Target Assembly

Technical Technical Discussion
1

What is the power source for the lights, and how do we connect them? Someone help me out please.

2

We use one of the 12 volt batteries.

3

I used a 12v wall brick that was rated at 1a. Placed a 2.1mm connector on the side of the box so that the wall brick was removable.

4

can you dumb it down a bit?

5

How about plugging the lights directly to the battery?

6

basically, just plug it into the battery. they just used a few modifications to make it more convienent

Ok

If the lights blow up… it’s not my fault!!!

Heh, the design schematics say to put all the lights (8) in a small box and cover it with that white plastic. Ours works great and the camera tracks pretty well with it.

10

Same here. We soldered a battery connector to our box wires and used an old one from last year. Works great, and the camera tracks it just fine.

11

We connected our light up to a computer electrical supply and are running two lights off of that. Hope that helps, just solder the cables to the connector and plug it in.

Thanks

it might be a good idea to add a fuse in the circuit so if anything shorts out you wont run the risk of damaging a battery of possibly injuring someone.:ahh: some wall or bench top power supplies have built in fuses/ circuit breakers but if in doubt just add a fuse.
