Nice, but I still don't understand why it's okay to use a DC adapter with lower output voltage than required, yet people say it's not okay to use one with higher voltage than required.

Great video. Never touch that steel ball rod switch with your hand. It will light you up. Being wet and by yourself could be fatal. After a couple close calls. O yeah it takes more than one. I will never put my hand on one again,

Dude this amazing! I bought a little led light to decorate this plant pot but the light was battery powered. I watched your tutorial and immediately found a 5V converter cable and hooked my light up Thanks!❤

Totally unnecessary, all you need to do is cut the battery box wire and connect a new plug to it. You do not need to hook it to the battery box

@carlkma203711 ай бұрын
I have a set of these lights, it says on the package that hooking them up to a different power source will void the warranty. Hooking up a three battery power supply to mains power is generally not considered a good idea. Bad things can happen, fire being one of them, electric shock could be another. Aside from the previous serious problems, another problem is that you can easily overdrive the LED's. Three batteries lose voltage over time and supply a much more limited current. The power supply continues to provide maximum voltage and current. My rechargeable batteries usually sit at 1.2 volts, unless I just charged them. None rechargeable batteries might start out at something like 1.5 or thereabouts, but they drop quickly. The best way would be to get the specifications on the individual LED's and then design the power supply. It would be nice if there was a follow up to the video on how long the lights lasted. USB lights would probably be a better alternative, the lights are designed for the power from a USB and the little power cubes are cheap.

all valid points you have, which is why he went with a specific AC adapter (4.5v) that wouldn't overload the current capacity. Any higher and then yes, you could have electrical, heat or fire issues.

I know that's not what this videos about but can I power a strip exactly like this with 2 D batteries instead? I'm asking because I have a project where space is extremely limited and I can comfortably fit 2 D batteries in series. Think like a Maglite or something. That's the amount of space I have and these little compartments are just too wide and bulky for what I need. Thanks a lot. I hope you answer .
