    Default 240v to 12v converter for powering carlights..

    Hi...I want to power up some Car Headlights ....


    To do this I need a converter ...Cannot find anything here in NZ... So I looked on Ebay... and came across this listing..

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/AC110V-220V-...eErFrhxwWhUa3g.....

    The listings all seem to state "For LED strips"....So are these converters specificly for LED Strips or would the 6oA one provide enough 12volt out put to run a few car headlights..


    My limited electrical knowledge tells me it should....AS I understand a Pair of headlights would require about 10 -12Amps but best to make sure hence my post........Thanks for any help ....MK

    Why not just use a standard computer power supply and hook the 12V leads off it? 400 watt ones are standard / common and will have no problems supplying the amps for car head lights.
