I'm not sure if this is possible or not on this model, but I would like to bump up the voltage output to 12.5v or so...
Right now, its 12v, and that works OK but to account for line loss it would be nice to get another half volt out of it. I'm running LED's off them, so I need all the voltage that they can take to get the full brightness out of them.
the datasheet is here- http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/Products/ProdDS/2105666.pdf
I just can't find anywhere obvious to tweak the voltage. Most of these little supplies have a pot on them to do it, but these don't. Sucks, because they are perfect for what I need otherwise. The datasheet does say its overvoltage protection starts at around 13.5v, so there should be enough headroom to do what I want.
And no, I cant reduce the resistance circuitry on the LED's, they are built in ropelights, so the resistors are preassembled and fixed. If nobody has any idea, then ill start tweaking the resistance on a couple paths that I think would correlate to voltage output... but for now I want to see if anyone knows.
this is where I bought them from- http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2105666_-1
