Ich denke, dass Alex uns vom Start weg genauso sortiert hat. Er kann ja noch nicht wissen, dass wir hier genau auf einer Wellenlänge mit ihm sind und auch gerne querdenken.

Well I was hoping that you were able to think outside the box and that you guys had the knowledge and the lack of prejudice. Particularly when I saw your posts on electronic transformer modification.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. I should have known that when I first saw your comment about the "100Hz being the trick that makes it short-circuit proof"... it is not, and I have tried to explain it to you, but was unable.

I consider it to be my own fault. I should have known better. That is why it is perhaps better to write such topics on my blog instead on trying to open the eyes to people on forums. If it is on the blog, eventually people will think about it and do it and find out how good this solution actually is... if I try to show it on some forum like yours, it will just backfire. Like every other simple thing, it is actually too difficult to comprehend.

Just think for a moment why is the cap not included in the original electronic transformers (usually just 100-200nF)?
The halogen lights do not mind ripple or modulation... what they need is the RMS voltage (i.e. WORK) that will light the filament.
Besides, a 330uF cap costs more than some cheap Chinese units... or approximately 50% of the retail price of a Philips or similar unit.
I guess this requires no additional comment.
