wattage of Mutant Mods Blue Bubble Light Kit

Nov 04, 2004 2 Replies

Hi I'm building pc 12 volt power supply mark II



I need a 10 ohm 10 watt resistor to hook up to the 5 volt line to get current floow in my jabba at power supply. Soooo instead o a plain resistor me thinks



Can I use the Mutant Mods Blue Bubble Light Kit as both a ON indicator and as a load on the 5 volt line to get this thingy to work ?



what wattage is the Mutant Mods Blue Bubble Light Kit ?

I've already inserted a mutan fan tri color in the box but if I gotta buy parts they may as well be cool right ?


many thanks


It's unlikely to draw enough current... of course you could use one as an on indicator *and* put the resisor across the 5v supply.

Agreed. Also, it looks like this `Mutant Mods Blue Bubble Light Kit' uses the 12v line rather than the 5v line anyways (the specs say `Input Voltage: 12 DC'. So it may not light up at all on the 5v line.

Persnally, I'd suggest just getting an automotive bulb, the sort you'd use in your dome light or your brake light. If the 12v bulb doesn't draw enough current (it'll be dim, but visible), put two in parallel or get a 6v bulb (which will be almost as bright as it's supposed to be.) It won't be as pretty as the Mutant Mods light, but if you wanted a pretty power supply you wouldn't be modifying a PC power supply anyways :) And it'll cost around $1, and will let you know that it's on.
