So, any recommendations for any different transformers, ideally in the
Screwfix range, that you have successfully used with a 20W load?
Screwfix do 5 or 6 different ones that all say "20-60W" so maybe
another type may be better that the ones I have. They don't do any that
go down to, say, 10W minimum, which would be more ideal.

Dunno about screwfix, but a proper transformer will work with a small load
- although the voltage may be a bit high. But TLC list both those and
electronic ones which apparently have no minimum load.

Thanks Dave, might give TLC a go - haven't bought from them for a while.
Unfortunately the best looking ones there are out of stock but will have a
look in a few days time.

I did think about just using a traditional toroidal transformer from Maplin
or similar - they did a suitable potted one, but that's now discontinued.
They still do some bare 30VA ones which might be OK if I'm desperate - they
would certainly work with my small load.

Simon.
