      @trailjacker said in Lightning Bolt / General Electronic Question:

      Many users worry that that they may "supply too much power" by using a higher rated supply.

      Yes, because they do not understand that in electronics, a device will draw the current that it demands. For example, I buy a green LED. It requires 25mA to illuminate. I decide to power it with a 3A power supply. The power supply laughs at it and delivers the 25mA with 2.975A spare capacity to power other things like a Pi.
