Now the season is over , I can return to this item. I connected the rectifier in with a 12v 55W car bulb as output. There was 7.3v drop across the bulb on my DMM and ammeter swung to max at 5A. Bulb glowed brightly . I am surprised by this or am I missing something? Should I fit a capacotor across the output to stabilise it?
