Reply to comment by Arkenys in Replacing big lamp transformer by Arkenys

Is this the type of lamp it takes?

It seems a really odd type of lamp for that type of fitting, but that's all I can translate the 13w G24D to.

If it is, you might be stuck with the power supply you've got, as it's a fluorescent ballast and not a transformer.

That said, it all comes down to how much effort you want to put in. It wouldn't be that hard to convert it to an LED fitting, but would involve some cutting and drilling and fitting a different lamp holder.

You'd still need a plug-top style power supply, and I'm not sure that the end result would be that much smaller than what you have at present.
