@overunitydotcom Hmm you're right why didn't i think about that? the kill-a-watt is made for pure sine wave and not square, thanks!

Please try it directly at your house grid outlet.
Your inverter probably jams the killawatt meter, cause it does not output pure sine wave, but a modified rectangular
So you need to really do it with a pure sine input so the killawatt meter can show the right values ! Please repeat this test at your normal 120 Volts AC house socket. Many thanks and looking forward to this test...

First I applaud you on your Captret experimentation. You continually make me rethink and change initial assumptions.

Try eliminating the 120VAC. You are wasting power with the needless voltage conversions. Run the LEDs straight from the 12V battery with the Captret. You might need a resistor to protect the LEDs.

Hi,

I remember seing this a couple of yearscago & was fascinated on the wattage fluctuation. 🤔😊

[ibpointless]

@lunarrn I've done that before using my captret led driver circuit. I didn't use a resistor because it seems that the captret has one built in to it. It lights up just fine and just like my other LED captret driver circuits it would drop voltage at first but slowly go back up in voltage.

Yeah but i think the reason is that its never at a constant .23 amps, it sometimes goes down to 0.0 amps and so the meter must be averaging the usage? Plus a inverter may not be the best setup for me to try but it was the safest.

I am a little confused right now...
does your meter say 113, 5 Volts and 0, 23 Amps?
That would be around 26 Watts of power...
