Hi all,
    I know it was discussed elsewhere in the forums about finding low wattage solenoids.. I know Brian at Evilusions sells them, but what if your on ebay or auctions ...Does anyone have a list of good solenoids (make,model) to look for?  ???

There are so many makes and models, it's going to depend on what your doing.

Double acting cylinder = 4 way (4 port if your controlling speed on the cylinder, 5 port if you are controlling speed at the valve)
Single acting cylinder = 3 way
air blaster  = 2 way

Then just look for something low enough wattage. If you find something that you think might work, email me and I can tell you if your not sure.

Thanks for the explanation! I have a couple 220vac SMC solenoids I need to sell off  then I can buy some 12v and 24v ones...
