Any way to get inside? The LEDs probably run on something like 5 volts or less, and the 68V is probably because they have a bunch in series. if you could get inside you might be able to MacGiver something to work on straight 12V. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 1/24/2015 10:17 AM, Nate

Backhaul was a mix of products. A lot of DragonWave (Duo's if I recall. maybe some Compacts), BridgeWave, E-Band, Ceragon IP-10's. RadWin I think was in there for some unlicensed stuff as well. Seems like they used a bit of everything everywhere at one point or another. I think The PtP

I'm looking to do some interior lighting in a work van. I had the bright idea of using the light strips out of a 4' LED fluorescent replacement tube, 1600 lumen, 18w ($12 on ebay). I think it will work perfect since it will be nice bright light over a 4' area, and is ultra thin, and can just

The bulb comes apart easily. They are all in series, hence the high voltage. Maybe I will try scraping off some traces and see what happens. On 1/24/2015 12:39 PM, Bill Prince wrote: Any way to get inside? The LEDs probably run on something like 5 volts or less, and the 68V is probably

Right. As I recall, all of our Trangos have positive ground, and it's tied to the chassis. Not good. Caused us grief when we started hooking in a SiteMonitor. We had to be very careful about that. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 1/24/2015 9:37 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: But if he’s talking

Maybe look at the voltage drop across each LED. Should be about 0.7 volts. So there should be about 20 to be forward biased per 14 volts in a typical vehicle. Will probably need some resistor for each section to limit current. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 1/24/2015 11:06 AM, Nate

A few of the licensed -48V backhauls we've seen (mostly Dragonwave) have a floating ground on the power input. They didn't really care about which side (if any) was grounded. So if we used power supplies with isolated output, we were good to go. However, if the SiteMonitor actually grounds

Have you tried changing the interior bulbs to LED? This should brighten up the vehicle quite a bit. You can buy several of these and mount them on the ceiling.

This stuff is sold all over the Internet. It runs on 12v, works great, is waterproof, and changes colors. You can also just set it to white. It's super cheap and easy to work with, self adhesive.
