hi all
one for the electrical engineers please...
The transformer in my pond filter/UV unit has burned out and spares are not available from Hozelock - who will instead happily sell me an entire replacement unit at 75 quid or so. Nor will they tell me what the transformer spec is so I can source one myself (the writing on it is also burned off).
The transformer feeds a 6W UV fluorescent tube with a ballast. Lamp voltage is 42V and its nominal current is 0.16A.
There are multiple units on ebay, RS etc which output at 42V and 0.2A but which describe themselves as LED drivers. Will these be OK or is there some quality that would make them unsafe for use with a fluorescent tube?
thanks
Gavin
