Post by: wizard on November 30, 2007, 11:36:56: It on a similar line to the last one.
I'll post a picture later so you can see what i'm after.
The reason i need this perticular tipe is that the lamp fitting was modified years ago to accept two 24vdc truck headlight bulbs. Its beams two bright narrow beams of ligt across a machine used to roll the side walls on pressure vessles.
The light beams allows our fabricators to accuratly roll a flat bit of steel into a prefect cylinder.

Post by: wizard on December 03, 2007, 07:26:56: If you take the front off there is a 415 to 48 volt transformer mounted on it.

Post by: Dr Evil on December 03, 2007, 17:35:34: Have you tried RS? they do a transformer based light 24v I think, using halogen bulbs & I'm sure they do a 240v-12v as I have an old transformer from one in the garage for testing bulbs.
