240v light fitting with 24v bulb and supply?

[Williamshoeste]

Hi,

If i had a 240v rated garden post light, powered it with 24v and used an e27 24v bulb, would it work?

I want 5 garden posts, and there's a nice one for 14 quid but it's 240v.

thanks if you can help

can't see any problems as long as you can get the E27 lamps @ 24V. are you thinking LED?

yeah i was hoping to use a 24v selv transformer as the power source, with a 24v 7watt e27 bulb. i guess there's 2 chances

You would have to remove any stickers or markings on the fitting that state 230v lamps only. Could cause a lot of confusing for future owners
