So, 300 miliamps is equal to 0.3 amps. So...,

12v x .3a = 3.6 watts.
i understand the conversions lol. but i assumed that's what i was using. i just wasnt sure when i heard you speaking of input. but now i know my grow cab fans use 3.6 watts each. +rep for helpfulness and sweet sticky bro. i was considering making one myself but you beat me to it
