Hi all,
Found a set of lights in the attic of the new house, and want to see if they work but they have no plug, just an end connector piece (I assume).
Attached are photos of the end of the lights, can someone offer advice on what type of connection this is, how I might either re-wire it to a standard plug, or whether I can get an adapter for it.
Would like to try and get them working, rather than just go out and buy new ones, reduce and reuse and all that......
