I’m a DIY’er. Or at least, if I have an electrical problem, I like to fix it myself. I couldn’t find an answer to my question after googling around a bit, and no electrician would give me an answer, so I thought I would try your forum. An answer would be greatly appreciated.
I have a desk lamp wired for 120 volts. It uses two 50-watt, bi-pin halogen flood bulbs. The bulbs are expensive and burn out quickly. And no LED bulb exists for my specifications. So I was thinking of rewiring my lamp for 12 volts, because 12-volt bulbs offer more options and are cheaper. The lamp can’t be taken apart, so I’m thinking of adding a transformer plug and splicing the two wires under the base. Is any of this feasible? I’m attaching a photo of the lamp.
Thanks,
Tamara
