I'm using two 9V batteries in series. I burned out my oscillator which was rated at 15V. No, it doesn't work well at 9V at all.
Interesting thing is that it actually brightens slightly when I lower the duty cycle on the square wave. I guess it generates more harmonics. Anyway, I'm back in the sidelines on this one. My wife has asked where the little radio is that was in the kitchen. :-( Terry On 11/3/07, Harry Veeder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can you reduce the input power? > Harry > > > > On 2/11/2007 1:58 PM, Terry Blanton wrote: > > > No. I'm putting in a lot more than I'm getting out.
