    Hi there. Ok we have lost the transformer for our lights for out outdoor garden party lights!
    Anyone have any recommendations on how to get these working without these.
    I would be confident enough on making connections, wire splitting etc.
    Just to get these going....party tomorrow! Not enough time to order the original one again!

    You basically need a power supply which gives out put of 12v 1amp - I presume you will do the hacking yourself, i.e. make the connection between the op of power supply and input of lamp chain.
    Im sitting amongst loads of them here at work....
    Cant think off the top of my head of any household item that will have that profile...Phone chargers etc will all be 5v

    If you are near a Maplin/radionics/farnell you will prob get one there... Getting late now though

    Power city/PC world/harvey norman might have them either.

    Actually: this will prob get you through ...

    Thanks for the reply.
    So basically the universal adaptor there set at 12v would connect into it. Wire connector probably best to give it the power and just make sure the amp is at least 1?

    Thanks for that
