    110v site lamps at 240v domestic

    Hello, I have bought some site lighting with 110v plugs to rig up in my shed workshop which has a 240v domestic supply. Obviously I can use a site inverter but I would like to avoid this. Is it just a case of rewiring and fitting 240v halogen bulbs? Some help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

    Recessed Halogen Transformer Ceiling Light

    Evening guys, A friend of mine has had these halogen ceiling recessed lights for about 17 years. Anyone know where to obtain a new transformer from? Would they still be available? If not, alternative would be new LED fittings hopefully without transformers. Many thanks

    Halogen Light

    Went to help neighbour replace lamp in outside halogen lamp because "the lamp has gone". The screws are all seized up and there's no way to get in without drilling the screw, so said for sake of £5 it'll be easier replacing the unit. I was off home again as she said "it comes on sometimes, and...
