Power supply adaptor

carlbhoy · 2018-12-02 22:22:09

I need to buy a power adaptor for some Christmas lights, I believe it has to be something like 5Vdc 1.5VA, the only ones I can find is a 3 pin 5V power adaptor 2A AC-DC, could anyone tell me if this would be safe to use for what I need, many thanks

Some LED lights (probably less likely christmas lights, but LED strip and similar) need a constant current power supply, rather than constant voltage.

Wouldn't that require an elaborate power supply.
