I use a lot of "LED Ultra Slim Wire Light Set"s over the holidays. I can find no electrical specifications for the lights, voltage or amperage. Each set has 36 LEDs and uses 3 AA batteries per set. (I go through a LOT of AA batteries.)
I was thinking on the feasibility of removing the battery boxes, installing plugs and using a wall wart to power multiple sets. Three AA batteries work out to about 4.5 volts, so a 5 volt wall wart should be capable of handling several light sets at least. Using a gang box wired directly to the wall wart I can have multiple extensions and light sets plug into the gang box.
Are there any problems or pit falls I'm overlooking?
Thanks in advance,
