LED Lighting

Good idea on the flourescent socket. Will have to remember to save one, next time one goes out, might be awhile.

For the transformer would you use something like **broken link removed** Or some other type?

You would not use a transformer. That chip is a buck regulator that drives a high voltage NFET and runs right off the rectified and filtered line, but I would feed in the line voltage and end up with a PFC LED driver- then all you need is high frequency filtering.

Yikes! my sorry eyeballs were looking at the wrong appnote. See the benefit now that its only a bridge + parts, ....very nice.
