Thanks. How do I connect it? I'm guessing but do i connect the live wire (previously connected tot he lamp) in to the live main socket pin (plugged to the transformer), connect the neutral wire from the socket to the lamp live terminal and the light neutral goes stay as is. Is that totally wrong?A second lamp is a poor solution, due to the wasted heat, and the fact that when the second lamp fails, the main one won't work either.
The transformer option is far better. For only one lamp, something like this:
