Hi all,
I am a novice with electronic (I dabbled as a kid) but I am interested in making things for myself and so want to take on a project for my girlfriend's lighting situation.
She has 5 led strips, one of which runs off the mains with an IC (rectifier maybe) standing in as the AC converter, and 4 that use batteries.
The mains strip is dodgy; frequently you can see electricity arcing , so I've retired it for now.
What I wanted to do, is build a power supply with 5 outputs without a transformer (taking inspiration from the transformers rectifier on the mains light led strip.
My question is, is this possible? From what I've researched, a set of bridge rectifier will do it. And so my follow up isthis method as safe as using a transformer
Sorry for the long post!
Thanks Jon
