hey techies, a little help here, please
I've found some LED light fixtures at Harbor Freight that my wife likes. They provide plenty of light where we need it and look like they belong there. They operate on 6 AA batteries but are actually ...

Thanks, guys, - as it turns out, I had ordered a second step down converter and then promptly forgotten I had it. Found it in my E-bay purchased list last night when preparing to order another. And actually found it here at the house. So, all might be good. The converter is an LM2596 --is it a "switching regulator"?
here are the specs:
Module property:Non-isolation buck
Rectification mode:non-Synchronous rectifier
Input voltage:4V-40V
Output voltage:1.3V-35V
Output current:Rated current is 2A,maximum 3A(Additional heatsink is required)
Output ripple:30mV( maximum )
Load regulation:±0.5%
Voltage regulation:±2.5%
Work temperature:-40 ? - +85 ?
dimension:43mm*21mm*14mm(L*W*G)
NOTE:This can't be used to step up Voltage
I have one of these in use now and haven't found any problems - what kind of haoc might I expect?
on the other ideas-- I've used 12 volt LEDS all around the trailer, about 20 of them and all work fine. These battery powered things are exactly what she wanted in 3 particular places EXCEPT for being battery powered. The wiring in series idea won't because each unit is switchable on/off and wouldn't all be used at the same time.
