 		 #186315 - Cap voltage
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hello Oliver.

I thought the maximum voltage in the reservoir capacitor would be something like 280v...
The shown resistors are from the original project I would recalculate all for my LEDs.

I have read about varistor + fuse for protection... kinda "medieval" but could help?

Thank you.
