Is this notifiable?

[JohnW2]

Well, you have quoted two such examples which verify what I have said. What more need be said?

Maybe something that is at least remotely relevant to the context of electrical/electronic components/equipment?

Kind Regards, John

Why?

If someone uses the word to refer to other than AC to AC, people will just say it is wrong, but how can it be?

It will have transformed the voltage in some way.

Sorry to have started this war.
I just wanted to know a reliable brand for a transformer or whatever the scientist call it...

Sorry to have started this war.

You didn't, so it's us that need to be sorry, which I am. This particular 'war' started here years ago, but re-awakens every time someone mentions transformers! I'll move any more of the war away from here!

I try to avoid the things (whatever they are called) as much as possible, so have limited experience and am therefore not of much use to you. When I do use them, I tend to use Aurora, which are a very reputable (and, in my experience, very reliable), but not very cheap, make -= and who produce a wide range of 'these things' .

However, as has been said, before you buy anything, of any make, you need to know the exact specification of what your light fitting requires.

Kind Regards, John

Thanks.
I'll take a picture of the spec tomorrow and post it.

I will reply in a new thread.

Thanks for all your help.
Eventually there was a "transformer" (sorry if it's called something else) at the bottom of the polystyrene box.
A simple plug in pre-wired thing.
Sorry to have caused havoc.

No problem, we've all "been there". I'm glad you have found a very simple solution!

Kind Regards, John

It is. It is a D.C. power supply as has been explained in this long thread.
