Is there a cheap set of lights you can steal the rectifier from?

It would be ugly, but something like this would duplicate it.

AC goes on the inner pins, and then it has DC out on the +/- pins. (Remember the DC will be around 150v!)

Or, hook it up to a 12v car battery and see what happens. If that works, a 110v to 12vDC power supply would work, and be a lot safer.


If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
