120v LED vs CFL vs 12v Lamps Results
Following up on another thread discussing using inverter and 120v lights with LEDs or CFLs. I have been using a CFL for a reading lamp for some years, but now have an LED bulb to make a comparison. ...

DC regulators limit total ma. eBay I've found them for 3, 5, 7, 10, watts. Individual modules (1) each lamp. LEDs get hot voltage stays same current goes nuts (up). That's why voltage regulation only does not and cannot provide protection. Must be milliamp matched to each individual array. Lamp brilliance syays the same 10-30 volts. Chinese shortcut physics and the result is landfill.
Are you saying there isn't any advantage at all to regulating a 12v lighting circuit to 12.5v(?) as an example to avoid burning out LEDs when the converter/charger goes into boost mode at 14.x volts?
That's where I'm headed with this question.
Thanks.
