Re: Voltage recommendation for slosyn kml063f07

Hi Chris,

For a filter, I would just use a minimum of a 32000 mfd 40V cap. That
gives 8000 mfd/amp, in my 4A case. I'd like to find some 50000 mfd 80V
cap! The Gecko's could also use an additional cap (per white paper)
near them, if the wiring is long. Don't forget a bleeder resistor!

The laser supplies sound interesting, but I can't afford ($$ or time) to
start another project! What cap/bridge and voltage is in a fill sized
microwave?
