Steven Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yes, it would be easier to solder copper wire where marked.The gauge of wire is determined by the current it carries - (the voltage determines the thickness of insulation required). These are very low current lights. 24-gauge wire will be fine.The 3-transistor board looks exactly the same, so you can just cut the wire a little short.

Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 thanks, I will be busy with my soldering gun! And what about sets with 3 transistors? as picture above?Also could I use the same technique on a board thats at 24V transformered down from a wall plug transformer if it has 3/4 transistors and similar board layout?

Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 If I post a picture can someone help me!? I have some lower voltage lighting which has a flasher which I want to make static. Please can someone reply asap as my show goes live tonight in 3 hours (UK time)!!Picture coming.

Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 thanks,the other flasher unit just has 4 transistors....just solder the same leg/area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ive blown a flasher unit up, the 1 I didnt get advice for opps now it doesnt work but it needs to for tonight...is there anyway I can just hot wire it onto the power adaptor?

Geoff Harvey Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Post a picture. Normal approach is to connect the commom supply voltage (rectified DC) to the outputs of each of the output transistors/triacs,Regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hey I got it to work just experimenting.1 power in wire with the common and then the 4 light wires with the other power wire =)cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
