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? http://www.surplussales.com/Electrical/LampSockets-3.html |

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? |
