Hi all,
I'm currently doing a research about formation of air bubbles in a waterflow and therefor I'm using a highspeed camera. For the lighting of the subject I want to use two 50W 12V halogen lights connected to a DC power supply. I got hold of a 'PS1310' 13.8V 10Amp DC power supply: https://www.kjell.com/filarkiv/SUPPORTPDF/41-50/44/44407/manual.pdf
I connected 1 halogen lamp (12V, 50W) to it, nothing happened., two lamps paralell, again nothing happened. When I connected two halogen in series they worked, albeit only on half power. (+-3A, 6.9-> +-21W).
Why don't the lamps work in a paralel setup? Any help would be greatly appriciated!
Greetings Ruud
PS (for me it doesn't matter if the light go bust quicker because of the higher voltage)
