12v lights

[BubbleandCheek]

Hi all

 

I'm looking for interior WALL LIGHTs that have more of a 'house light look' as opposed to the standard cabin dome/tube/reading light styles.

 

If anyone knows of where to get interesting/different styled 12v lighting, details and links would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you :-)

You might find it easier/cheaper to buy a nice mains wall light designed for something like a PL lamp and modify it to low voltage/LED

Just buy 240v stuff and rewire it with 12v

only suggested for PL lamp as when I was looking I found the most attractive types of wall light were designed for them

Thanks Chazzy.

John, easier/cheaper option sounds good. How would i go about modifying?

Is it just a case of rewiring the bulb holder?

If you look at a site like bedazzled or baddie the pirate then you will find adapters that convert most common 240v lamp holders to ones suitable for LEDs.

the type I used, had a metal back plate with the choke and holder riveted on, I just drilled the rivets out and fitted my choice of holder on the original holes........simplesqueek

Another option is to look at Ikea light fittings , check the power use is 12v, and just snip the 24th transformers off.
