I didn’t know that EL LED wire was high voltage.
I was looking at those mains voltage doubler TLs, but it just seams too dangerous and not portable.
Things are getting dangerous now because my 400V PS arrived. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
My cheap 9 LED torch with a direction reflector also got here, so just waiting for the COB before I test Peter’s LED TL. I’m interested if the 555 adds lag to the trigger, and I need a lot of light to direct it at the engines accurate timing marks because you can’t get close enough for a weak light.
I remember reading a timing light test in a car mag years ago - maybe a decade - and pretty much all had lag. From memory the cheaper the more lag, but even the expensive SnapOn had 1º lag.
EDIT - Holly carp, 10V in 655V out!.
