Yes LEDs don't leak mercury but at the time they were extremely expensive, and hate to break it to you but CFLs do leak mercury.

Boosting 19V to 120V so a transformer can reduce it to 4.5V. The outsourcing nation rules.

Isn't 19 volts a little high as input to the HT? I have an IC-T7H and it uses 11 volts. What HT are you using?

Its going through an inverter and DC transformer first so the HT is only actually getting 12 volts

Did you tin the tabs with solder?

I actually tinned the bus lines on the panel using a flux and then heated the tabs and moved them into the tinning on the panel.
