Except I linked to a 12V one rather than a universal one. Try this one instead: http://www.suntekstore.com/goods-14002520-10_x_ac_85-265v_1_x1w_led_driver_power_supply_.html note that it supplies up to 4V (and will, as it is a current source), so you would feed that through a suitable resistor to drop down to the opto voltage drop (10mA@1.2V, say, means (4-1.2)V / 10mA = 280ohm, 1/16 W should be fine). > njh > > On Wed, Dec 05, 2012 at 01:55:40PM -0200, Roberto Spadim wrote: > > i must simulate and test > > but like a resistor divider: > > > > 0 volts ----WWW--| (5 volts) |---WWWW------ 10volts > > > > you can do it with caps in AC voltage > > > > > > 0 volts ---- |||cap|||----| (110volts) |--|||cap|||---- 220volts > > > > > > must get right values of caps, and use caps for AC voltage (eletrolitic > > aren't usefull in AC) > > put this divider before resistor and use the same project, you will reduce > > voltage with caps, instead a resistor or a transformer, it's very smaller > > and more energy efficient > > > > > > > > > > 2012/12/5 Markus Gaugusch <mar...@gaugusch.at> > > > > > On Dec 5, Roberto Spadim <robe...@spadim.com.br> wrote: > > > > > > > 1 watt!!!! that's energy lost in temperature!use a two caps divider and > > > a lower resistence > > > > > > Hi Roberto! > > > > > > Could you give us an updated schematics?
