[QUOTE="MisterJD, post: 521999, member: 34431"] Was that to me [USER=23472]@Richard-the-ninth[/USER] ? I got this figured out over the weekend - the weird part was that in the static controller 'earth' goes to the same pin as blue in the MF one, which was about the only option I didn't consider. I did a continuity test on the simple controller to check it worked but got about 2MOhm through the 'lump' which was unexpected - these are 230V AC lights so I thought all that did was maybe a bit of smoothing. Someone suggested elsewhere it was to prevent interference so it made me think, is there a way to have high resistance DC (multimeter) and low resistance AC? Or, to reduce the current could it simply be a 2MO resistor? My electronics knowledge is 20 years unused so I've forgotten most of what I ever knew. Anyway in my case it all works and I know which pin does what on the Duralite products for future. If I need to make my own extensions or adapters I should be able to. [/QUOTE]
