I mentioned this to someone and they wrote of contacting you in the past to learn about the life span of the little signs.

When I spoke with Chris about this some time ago, I was actually surprised that their life span was so limited .... something like 1000 hours at the rated 4.5 volts. Running at peak voltage of around 6 volts, their life expectancy diminished to around 700 hours if I recall correctly.....” </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /></span></div> <div style="font-style: normal; display: inline; font-family: 'Calibri'; color: #000000; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> <div style="font-family: tahoma; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> <div> </div> <div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 50% #f5f5f5;"> <div><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:milleren@microstru.com">milleren@microstru.com</a> </div> <div><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, July 16, 2011 8:42 PM</div> <div><b>To:</b> dgh<a href="mailto:dgheine@shaw.ca"></a> </div> <div><b>Subject:</b> Re: Re My last email...typing error</div> </div> </div> <div> </div> </div> <div>The signs can run up to 6 volts DC but no higher. The signs draw about 95 ma. Yes our adapters are unregulated. So if the no load voltage is 7-8 volts. then under load it will bring it down to the correct voltage.</div> <div>Sincerely,</div> <div>Chris<br /><br />--- On <b>Sat, 7/16/11, dgh</b> wrote:<br /></div> <p> </p>
