Where can get a 20 watt round led driver with a 12v output ?

[Splitty]

I expect that the drivers you have been looking at are constant CURRENT?
You need constant VOLTAGE.

I have seen 24v GU4 LED capsules
so you could use those with this round 24v LED driver

EDIT
AcTEC do a 12volt version that may fit, then you could use your existing 12v GU4 capsules...

Thanks for your reply, however, this is evidence of the problem I'm having. Its either 12 volts but the wattage isn't high enough or if I want to up the wattage to at least 20 watts, then for some reason the output voltage goes up to 24 volts !!!, or more.
Just can't seem to find a 20 watt 12 volt one that's round or small enough to fit my fitting. Cheers anyway. The hunt continues..........

Not sure I'd want to run wiring designed for 12 volts at 230.

Yes, thankyou, I stopped and thought about it afterwards, I won't be doing that ! Thankyou for your reply. Cheers

Hi. I hang my head in shame and hang up my tool bag. I must have had a brain fart or something...
My apologies for suggesting using 230V capsules in a fitting not designed for 230V.

No worries this end, I got caught up in the moment, thinking, wow ! you've given me an easy solution. Then I stopped and thought about it (as you do) and I thought , Hmmm, hang on a minute. I know the thought was there, cheers.

Howz about this one:

https://uk.farnell.com/traco-power/tmw-24-112/power-supply-ac-dc-12v-2a/dp/3777602

A bit expensive but a quality item and would do the job, assuming depth of 24.5mm is not too tall!

Or here's a possible cheaper option, if you could separate the wiring into two groups of lights, you could fit two of these, each driving half the bulbs, but I'm a bit wary of the suitability of the current rating for continuous use, the actual o/p voltage tolerance, and possible safety implications:

Thankyou for these, It's time to have a chat with the missus methinks. Nearly 40 quid is more than the light fittings are worth. Even she wont go for that ! The cheaper option comes really close though but at 18 Watts, they're just not gonna do it. From what I can glean from the net the wattage should be marginally greater or equal to the demand.

You get 3 of the little 18watt PSU's for your single purchase costing £7.50!
I intended to mean you put at least two of those supplies in each light fitting (ie giving you 36W of power) wiring each supply to roughly one half of the lamps in each fitting.
You would need to make two purchases (£15) and you would have 2 PSU's left over.
But if the wiring does not allow you to split the load like that, then obviously this is a non starter.
Sorry I wasn't clear!

Yes absolutely correct!

Is there any chance of fitting the PSUs remotely from the fittings?

 

[davesparks]

The led's wont run off the original transformer, thought I'd give it a go but they go mental !

In what way do they go mental? What exactly happens?
