transformer for two 12V DC fans?

[Bob Zink]

Greetings to the Lighting Forum.

I wish to instal two 12V DC pancake fans in a DIY CF hood, but my electrical engineering is a little rusty!

If the fans are 12 Vdc, 0.15 Amp., is the current additive?
I mean, do I need a 12 Vdc transformer with at least 0.30 Amps?

Also, has anyone found a god online source for transformers like this to install within the hood itself, tapping into the same 110V AC power that supplies the transformer?

Any advice appreciated!

bell transformer... works best... cordless phone charger (not mobile phones) there normaly about 12v, if not get a 7.5 whichever i run a coldcathode on 7.5..

if your doing this yourself.. why not get some light up blue LED fans, give yourself a bit of moonlight aswell

also dont worry about the amps. not on 12v anyways, i think thats just how many amps they actually draw from the power source.

I remember going through this with car stereo speakers, only we were trying to figure out the resistance, which is in ohms. (???) I don't remember the wattage or amperage being a problem, either in parallel or series. But I am not even a novice when it comes to electronics.

I used an old scanner power supply. Look around in your garage...
