On the other hand, 7805 voltage regulators with MUCH smaller capacitors is another approach for very clean volts, and the lights won't dim. The solid state voltage regulators come in other fixed values, including negative, and in variable configurations too. -- Gene E. Bloch (...!nsc!voder!gino) Mr Humility
