National Lighting 12V Transformer - Low Voltage 20W – 60W Rated Electronic Dimmable Transformer for Halogen Lights Lamps Bulbs IP20 Rated

Works.

Purchased this item to replace a blown transformer in a bathroom mirror. For a few quid I rescued a £200 mirror that was otherwise perfectly fine. Simple job to swap over the old transformer for the new one.

The negatives: Arrived in somewhat sketchy packaging, causing the front panel with lens to be loose - but it clipped back into position easily. No instructions were provided either. Wd have liked a video output. But this is outstandingly simple as a concept. Basically it's a hotch-potch of modular units bolted together. The lens is a 16mm f1.2 CCTV parts bin item, manually adjustable (screw it in or out to focus). Battery is a typical lithium type, probably an 18360 inside the handle which should give it plenty of time before recharging. It has a micro socket for charging and a USB socket if you wish to use the battery output for other purposes. The 4.3" mono screen is lowish rez but perfectly adequate. Angle of view is narrow and is not telephoto scale - about 1:1 if you hold it at comfortable viewing distance. The default format squashes the image, but you can resize it, although causing black masks to the sides. LH button switches on powerful IR leds - surprisingly effective at range (100 mtrs +). The three buttons on RHS: push the middle one to switch modes, then the top and bottom ones to adjust. Verdict: great fun as a starter night vision device if conditions are not pitch black, and ridiculously cheap!

Good price and easy to fit. No complaints.

Very happy with transformer and good delivery

Did the job (cooker hood lights) at an excellent price.

Worked for the first 3 months but has blown now. Not happy as my last 1 lasted over 8 years. Now in October and another has blown so I once again have had another delivered and let's see how long this 1 lasts

Exactly as expected , fast delivery ,good price , works ok
