3.5 volt lighting - no transformer
I have some 3.5v lights that I want to put in a dolls house. I want to use
a battery and not a transformer as a power source as it will be played with by some small children. The answer to this question might be obvious but I am not sure what voltage of battery should I use - is it 3.5 volts too? Regards, Bernie |

Regards, Bernie Get yourself a plastic holder for two batteries of whatever size (AAA, AA, C, D) is readily available and give it a try. 3.5V lights on 3.0V should be very close to full brilliance. I used to build 3 cell units (4.5V) for people who wanted to use Lundby (5.0V) fixtures in room boxes, shadow box frames etc. Gerry :-)} London, Canada |

Thanks a million. I was looking through a box of bits and pieces tonight
and found an old plastic holder for two AA battries so hopefully it will do the trick. It also screws shut so it's reasonably childproof. Bernie "Gerald Miller" wrote in message ...
