hologen lights are either 120v or 240v.
tese lights do not have transformers.
You can also buy a new lamp that is good for the voltage you have. Just make sure the amperage will not cause the wire to burn in half. That will cause a fire. NOT GOOD!
A 300w lamp for 240v system is 1.25 amps.
The same lamp hooked up to 120v will now be 2.5 amps.
Just be careful.

Generally any incandescent light that has a lower voltage than its source can be run in series with multiples to spread the voltage load equally. IE; if you have a 120 volt source you could put 10- 12 volt lights together in series and each light will get 12 volts. (Understand this must be in series not parallel!) Series is like mini Christmas light strings, (Series = one light wire connects to the next and then the other to the next and so on!)
This is only practical for hobby mechanical projects and not for house wiring like pot lights or cabinet lighting were electrical codes must be observed!
Hope this helps,

Halogen lamp with 250Volt do not require transformer, off course you need a special holder for a particular lamp, e.g. GU10 with 35 watts or 50 watts. I hope this should your answer. Further advice can obtained from your local DIY shop or Hardware warehouse e.g. B&Q or Homebase.

Polarity does not count number for easy bulbs. So confident, you recognize the place to place the line voltage, being your 230V. And the different terminals are your 12V. on no account concepts your polarity on those terminals. one factor to remember is to not overload this transformer. it could desire to have a score like VA or something, in basic terms ascertain the transformer is rated to deal with 4 lighting fixtures. so some distance as one hand on your pocket, be careful with advice right here, in case you have ANY portion of your physique resting on a grounded floor you would be the path decrease back to floor and threat getting very much shocked.

Halogen puts out a lot of light and an enormous amount of heat. Fluorescent lights put out adequate light with no heat to speak of. you can touch them while they are on, don't try it with halogen.

Replace low voltage bulbs with 240v GU10 halogen bulbs and you are away. You might need the GU10 lampholder as well.
