I have ordered one. It will take a month to arrive though. It must be on a slow boat from china.
I do not understand how they can make it for less than 3 quid. The postage was almost as much

Look near the bottom of that listing though .... says 65W if the input voltage is low (e.g. 12V). Usually the power limitation on these things is the input current. I've been looking into DC-DC converters a bit .... starting a new thread in here. |

when amps play bass the voltage drops, digital ones dont pick it up correctly.

LEDs are usually a bit slower than a needle. Also, the digital meters will sample the voltage every 'X'ms, so not a continous display, but that is what digital means. In any case, I don´t think it really makes that much difference, maybe a matter of taste, like people who prefer desks with analogue VU´s!

Ok, ive just got the led volt stepper and display module. Will be collecting my SLA from bimble solar on friday so i will have a good fiddle. There were a bunch of us dancing around it (on mains) at the weekend. Nice.
