Hi all,

I lost the 3 pin plug for some LED fairy lights when we moved house and I’m having a hard time trying to find a replacement that the lights can fit into. I can’t upload a picture but I found something similar here:


I simply want a uk standard 3 pin plug that has a hole that the lights can plug into. What is the name of that sort of plug?

Thanks.
Jas.
 
Oh, I can now attach a picture. This is what it looks like.

I think the word you are looking for is "transformer"!

It just happens the transformer plugs directly into a socket.
From the label, 24V output and rated at 2.4VA (or more).
And obviously with the correct size of output connector (note: there are many variants of different sizes, some only slightly different but mechanically incompatible).

Thanks SJD!
