Light bulbs to pc power dongle
(1/2) > >>
SithMaster:
is it safe to run 2 90 watt bulbs to a 5v volt pc power dongle?

right now im torn over whether to use the light sockets that came with my cab with a pc or if i should use a flourescent light fixture.  only thing is how to mount the light fixture when the origs are mounted already.

hmmm...a 90 watt, 5 volt DC light bulb... yeah that makes sense.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.  ;D

Odds are that those are  regular incandescent AC bulbs and fixtures. You run them straight off wall power. As a side note, you should never hook ANYTHING that draws more than a signal voltage to your dedicated computer power supply. If you want to add a dedicated computer power supply for lighting then go ahead.

i figured someone would say that me asking that was stupid.  i know it was stupid but needed an answer.

well dont want to use another ps and id have to wire them to a wall outlet plug which i have no idea how to do so im going to go with a flourescent fixture.  just need to mount the thing somehow.

Why not just use a power strip and two of these?

wow almost look like the ones in my cab sans the power cord.  would it be safe to hack a power cord from a radio (kind with the one end having a square and circle connecter) to the socket?
