Although current regulated to 5A it ended up less at the end due to the resistance of the cable causing the voltage across it to reach the maximum (16V) on that range of the power supply.

This short should be turned into a short. A Youtube short video, trim it back to the moment where the actual fun starts and post it out there to warn people about those iron conductors.

2023-10-15 03:24:19 +0000 UTCNo need for an inrush resistor on the "power supply" in the camping light then, the cable does that job just fine
