Good day,
I was hoping I could get some direction on the best mindset/business practices for a Sports Non-Profit.

We are just starting out and I want to set up the users correctly, with the mindset to keep emails historically. I know, a lot of word jumble to just say, when a person in lets say the registration role, leaves and a new person takes over, how do I keep their emails in case they need it.

My thought was just to build a simple Registration@domain.com, when the new person comes on, I would reset the password and update their personal information. While watching the videos, I learned about alternate accounts, so I thought, well, I could do John.Doe@domain.com with an alt email of Registration@domain.com. But that would technically be adding emails to John.Doe right? So even with the new user , using the same Alt, they would not have a history?

Sorry if this is confusing, but if you understand it, I would really appreciate and advice or ideas before I start generating all the users.

Thank you!

Good afternoon,

First off, I am very much a novice when it comes to electronics, I somewhat understand it, but not enough to where I can venture on my own. I saw a video of a guy that used his 18v tool batteries to power them, and I am trying to replicate.

So this is the strip I am working on:

Purple arrows are where the 120v cord connected, the copper lines on top and bottom carried that to another plug to allow you to chain them.

Blue X is a cd11gh capacitor.
Red X is a ABS210 bridge rectifier if I read it correctly (insert electroboom comment here)
Green X has text that says 2.5a - I'm assuming a fuse?
Pink X had no marking
The block box/chip towards the right/middle is a BP5116 LED driver

So my understanding/assumption is that HOT comes in and goes through the green X (it's a fuse)
The Pink X is connected to both the HOT and Neutral I believe. (No idea the purpose)
From Pink X, it steps down the 120v to a working voltage and pushes that in to the capacitor. I looked up the Bridge Rectifier, but I do not understand it, it stated this fluctuated depending on input.
From the Capacitor it goes out to the LEDs.

At this point, my belief is if I take off the Rectifier, I could attach my 18v battery there and should be ok - I would probably need to step it down, but I do not know the best way or to what voltage as none of the LEDs state it.

Any help / directions / suggestions would be appreciated greatly! Thank you.
