The instant invention relates to a solid state low voltage power supply
controller which reduces a conventional 120 volt AC power source to 12
volt pulsating DC for the purpose of operating a single "point of use"
light source wherein the low voltage power supply is in proximate location
to the light source. A pulse width modulator integrated circuit operating
in conjunction with a field effect transistor induces energy in the
secondary of a step-down transformer to provide a reduced pulsating DC
current to a lamp load. A feedback voltage from the secondary winding of
the stepdown transformer operates to set the gain of internal circuitry of
the integrated circuitry to provide a predetermined constant pulsating DC
voltage and a predetermined limited range of power wattage. A feedback
voltage operates to reduce current drawn by overcurrent demands on the
primary of the transformer.
