MEXICOWANDERER

Send the Whiffie to me Chula Vista CA. It'll get a good home powering a rural Mexican streetlight once it gets some upgrades and a fan that actually cools. I donate my time, and materials to make it happen. I have a 200 watt heatsink and pair of 10,500 lumen chips just waiting for a sugar daddy. The heatsink requires 12 volt fans as ball bearing 120vac (Pabst?) units are rather pricey. The crosswalk streetlamp has been in operation 2+ years and the truckers hate it. They can actually see toddlers waddling across the highway even though the brightness may dazzle them. Comision Federal de Electricidad erects lamps and pays for the power. Whew! Waterproof photoelectric switches are not inexpensive either. The twist-lock-terminal kind are garbage in salt tropical air. I use encapsulated. The voltage control of the Whiffie I was using for my bench acted so flaky I would not entrust it to streetlight duty. Good thing too. It smoked.
