LCD Topgun LED Stand Power
« on: July 30, 2007, 07:05:21 pm »
I'm looking for an adapter to power my LED Stands for my lightguns.  I'm also planning on adding a switch so I can turn them off when the guns aren't in use.  Any recommendations on where to get a power adapter?  Radio Shack maybe?  Manual says needs to be 5v and 600mA or above.  I was also thinking about tapping the 5v from the pc power supply.  I don't know how many mA that will provide and I certainly don't want to blow them up.  Has anybody tried this approach?  As always any help is appreciated.

Thanks

If you are leaving the guns hooked up all the time, why not leave the led power cable plugged in to the gun cable.  Then you can just splice open the power to the led stands and drop in a cheap switch.  You could extend the switch with any wire to wherever you want on your cab.  That would probably be the easiest method for powering it up.  After all, there isn't alot to the led stands, just some resistors, leds, wires, and there might have been a cap in there too.
