  • That suggests that the SON rear light is intended to take 0.6W. I think the RedEye is 1W. Trouble is, there's nothing I can find which explains whether there's any current limiting circuitry in the Edelux rear light supply and, if there is, what it's rated to. Or, indeed, whether the rear light supply has any power rating limitations or whether, if you wanted to, you could chug the whole 3W down to the rear light.

    There's one way to find out, of course, but it's a bit depressing if the answer isn't the one you were hoping for...

  • I can confirm you can't wire the son rear direct, would seem it have zero protection. Two none functioning lights would confirm. Yes I am a moron that was slow to work that out.

  • Yeah, connecting a 5V DC lamp into a 60V+ AC supply will rarely end well. Still, there's nothing like empirical evidence for proving the point!
