Hello,
I am trying to create a hollywood style dressing table mirror as part of my G/fs xmas prez, Unfortunately they don't seem to be readily available so ...
I have 17 small bulbs & sockets running in a series circuit.
I asked at maplin what a suitable powersupply would be and they have given me a 6v ac to dc supply. However once all wired up it seems that the circuit does not work - thought originally it must be a loose connection but I used a multimeter which shows that the circuit is complete - however I think it must be that the powersupply doesn't provide enough amps for the number of lightbulbs ?? - Although here I'm not sure! ...
Part details are below (with links to the parts on the maplin website)
Any help you could give me would be great & will save alot of wasted time and money!
Thanks In advance
