Reply to "Trying to read voltage and amps on VA meter for Menards Power Adaptors"

I have the 3 outlet Menards power supply.  I plugged it into my new Menards light and power, it light up.  Tested the voltage at a second outlet from the supply and got 7.05 volts.  Won't this burn out the LEDs prematurely?

It depends if the electronics in the building has a current regulated supply for the LEDs. If not, I would think that you might want to use a 4.5 vdc regulated supply. One question, do they get brighter if the voltage goes up and dimmer if the voltage goes down. You can check this by plugging in additional buildings to your power supply which will reduce the voltage because of loading.
