On another thread (currently into a discussion on sound and phase) I
asked if anyone any thoughts on where I could get a replacement for one
of these: https://www.flickr.com/gp/161457453@N02/iv5D72. It runs three
sticks of 12 LED Christmas lights which gradually, and individually,
change colour.

I've taken it to pieces now and it turns out it's 240v AC to 4v AC and
not 4v DC. So, I'm still looking for a replacement wall wart. Anyone?


It's basically just a transformer but to use one you would need to do
some wiring and put it in a suitable box etc.

4V is a bit of a funny one and the nearest I can find is:

You can actually get 'empty' wall wart boxes that you could put said
transformer in for yourself ...
