Converting 18 volt AC to 12 volt DC power
Posted by crayontrain on Monday, March 19, 2018 6:47 AM

I have four MTH Bombardier cars that I would like to convert the overhead lighting in. I purchased Micro-Mark's LED Flexible light strip and it uses 12 volt DC, 1.2 amps per meter of length. I want to use 10 inch strips, which are 0.254% of a meter. Any ideas on how to do this? Your help would be most appreciated.
