Okay, so I've taken apart and put back together my fair share of electronics, and I'm comfortable enough with wiring/soldering etc. so I'm sure this is doable, but without schematics, my limited electrical knowledge might not be quite enough to get the circuit running (Safely!).
I'm planning on wiring three MR16 halogen lamps w/some homemade gel filters in a circuit w/a computer case fan (Voltage: 12 Volts, Voltage Range: 6.5 ~13.8 Volts, Input Current: 0.30 Amp Max)
First question, will the following transformer work w/the halogen (Not LED) bulbs and the fan as well? If not, what specifications do I need?
MR16 12V LED DRIVER SWITICHING POWER SUPPLY TRANSFORMER
Input Voltage
AC 85-265 Volt
50Hz/60Hz
Output Voltage
DC 12V/650mA
(max 8w)
If so, do I wire them all in a continuous circuit or wire each direct from the transformer?
If this all works, I'd like to put some kind of a dimmer in the circuit, I've read that a pot or rheostat on the 12v end is not the way to go due to a waste of power?
Basicly, I'm confident I can put it all together, if anyone can give me some tips on wiring it all and letting me know if this is doable! thanks!
