Default 12 Volt lighting.

I recently bought, at my local Boot sale, a mains powered 12 Volt
Diachroic lighting set.
I disconnected the 'wavy' solid rod buss bar from the mains transformer
and with two croc clips connected them to a 12 Volt battery. Real
Rocket Science I hear you say.
The question is, where can I obtain a proper connector for those 12
Volt Diachroic bulbs so that I can make a proper large system?

Regards Chris.

Andrew, they are just the job. I keep forgetting about Maplin.
Everybody keep quoting RS and Farnell but Maplin are just down the
road.
Thanks again.
Chris.
