Thanks John, I'll wait and see what occurs after the sun comes out.....

Morning All, I have one of those solar lights, and the two wires have broken away from the underside of the little solar panel. I did try to stick them back on with sellotape (one of the repair options I found on the internet), but that didn't work, so I tried to solder them back on, which sort...

I understand that, which is why I haven't bought anything that could be a real safety hazard.... anyway, back on track, I took the floodlight apart this morning, found nothing untoward, so I am binning it.... and have ordered a standard 85-265V Floodlight. No transformer/LED Supply needed....

Well, I am stumped! I recently bought the above outdoor floodlight from eBay, and upon connecting a 15W Transformer and plugging it in, the LED flickered on, then immediately off. Upon pulling the plug from the socket and putting it back in immediately, no light.... but if I waited 30 seconds...
