Hi,
I am new to this forum hopefully yall can help me out. I am going to attempt to convert a 40watt 4 foot fluorescent light bulb to dc power. I am going to go with a DC ballast for the light. Im looking at the
PST-EB40S12 ballast on the site http://www.powerstream.com/ballast-1.htm ... Now all tha i need is a proper power supply. Of course I was going to use a battery. Which i might later. But for now im looking at getting a AC-DC wall power supply. According to the powerstream.com site, the specs for the proper ballast needs an input voltage of 10-15 VDC and input current of 1.8-2.2 Amps. What would be a proper power supply for this. I have looked and looked for it and found one that was close but the amps were higher than the specified amps. Is this ok? The reason im going DC is that im going to use this light as a fish attractant near water so to be safe im trying to convert it to DC power. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks!
