I discovered recently that my 12v power supply was putting out Ac. It is an outdoor type for landscape lights that has components sealed in a block of resin. ( here I thought I was lucky getting those led lights in the right way each time lol). What I did was add a 20 amp bridge rectifier and heat sinc to the output coming from this sealed block. 12v @ 15 amps

My question is, could I have done something that could haunt me in the future? I know enough to troubleshoot, but still not sure of myself.

My question is, Adding this bridge rectifier to fix the failed one inside the sealed circuit a safe thing to do, or could it cause future problems because of the original failure?
