I'm late, the first time I used a digital multimeter that gave a false result, when I tried again and pluged an oscilloscope I found 10Khz very narow spikes that vary in amplitude by the 50Hz line frequency, so I used the same bridge and the same cap. but I tested it with an analogue multim. and get around 17 V (open circuit). a block of leds then connected to the rectified current without current limiting R, the leds illumnited with flickering intense light, using R, the flickers decreased but not disapeared Why, should I connect a small cap (0.1 to 1 uf) parallel to the electrolytic one? I wish I will have time to try again.
I have no schematic, but it is a very simple circuit of a rectifier bridge and a filtring capacitor to feed a led block and maybe to charge a lead accum.
I've got some photo of the oscilo. screen, but they are of low quality, may I have time to post it.
When someone on AAC asks you for a schematic, it is perfectly OK to draw one by hand. Especially if it is simple. As we used to say in the olden days, one picture is worth ....
