I know someone who has a silkscreening business for making t-shirts.


One of their lights failed and he asked me to look at it.

There is an ancient power supply that runs off 240 volts and seems to
have a high voltage transformer that died. It might step the voltage up
to 600volts?


I was wondering if I could just use a 1500 watt halogen tube and just
run it (through a heavy duty relay) right from the 240 volts and not
bother with a transformer.

I found a lamp and socket that would fit in the head.


Anyone here know about this?
