Halogen light

I'd just buy a 240v work light, they are pretty cheap and saves messing about.
Just replace the lamps.
I guess neither of us realised that you'd inspected it and determined that the wiring was OK for 230V.
Surely, there could only be a doubt the other way round.
I was thinking of insulation strength, not CCC.
Aaah!
You'd have to buy 2 new lamps anyway, and a new light will come with a pair.
Considering how little it'll cost and what could go wrong, buy a new light.
Yes, I take your point but this is a brand-new, quite expensive lamp set...and I have several 500w halogen bulbs already so, at the risk of sounding mean, it just seemed sensible to use them in this lamp...if I could do so without any silly risks.
Thanks all.
Thanks all.
I take it this is a site lamp ?
Where did you buy it?
Where did you buy it?
It might be...it was given to me and I want to use it to illuminate the garden at night so i can film hedgehogs etc. My old one packed up.
Its a tripod mounted, double-headed extendable unit...perfect for my needs...just that it's 110v rating.

So its a 110v light.
Buy a 110v transformer and everything is instantly resolved.
Except for your stock of 230v, 500W lamps but you'll save the planet by not using them.
