Was quite curious about this power supply as it stated that the output was 4.5V - 9.5V so I investigated.
It does not appear to be a switching regulator as there are no IC's/devices that do any "switching." Figured as much as it did not mention "switching regulator" on the supply anywhere. But my real question is....how does it supply between 4.5V & 9.5V? It measured ~5.1V with no load and failed to provide a glimmer of light for a small 12V LED strip. So what do I have here........aside from a china-supply. Doesn't appear I can rely on it supplying just 5V alone.
