Hi Guys, can someone advise what type of small transformer can I get to get 220V to charge this light? Thanks!

You havn't stated what country you plan to use it in, or why you don't have a 120VAC source. which makes a difference. You can get what you need from Amazon (search Amazon, get the best price) or go to: www.220converters.com/store/, and select "travel voltage converters". Be sure to get two things or something that combines the two functions: the plug adaptor to be able to plug in, which will depend on your country, plus the voltage converter that converts from the power characteristics you have to 120VAC, 60hz. Other good sources: www.110220volts.com, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets, www.worldstandards.eu/electricity.htm

i dont think you can with the charger that comes with the light, i think it is 110 only

The light is charged with 12V/500mA. The power supply that came with it is only specified for 120V primary, so you would have to get your own power supply that delivers 12V/500mA.

You should be able to use any transformer designed for low voltage (12 volt) lighting. I believe that Amazon may sell some of these transformers - search to find out.

I was able to get a replacement transformer by going to the contact section of their website (http://www.lighthousehydro.com/contacts/) and sending them an email. Tell them the model of the light and that you need to purchase a transformer and they will send you a purchase order that you can pay thru Paypal. Then they send you the transformer. They cost $20.00 when I did it. The 240W light has 2 transformers.

you need to call the manufacturer for that information. A lot of small appliances need a transformer to work, otherwise the 220 V will fry the circuitry

I would contact the seller to see if they will provide a 220v charger for you. They might have one that you can purchase.

Look up "low voltage transformers" on Amazon. Almost any one will work. I used the paradise gl22720 because I wanted a light sensor.

You'll most likely need to use a transformer or other gizmo since it's typical 110. Amazon might have this model in 220v though...

I must reconsider my answer after looking at this a little closer. The lights do require 12vDC and not AC. There is such an adapter sold elsewhere on Amazon that can power this string. I would have to say that you probably cannot use this transformer.

hey Icepuck, did this work? Could you do same with a battery charger I am wondering? Im trying to run 12v lights off a generator and trying to find a solution... FF here too and rigging out a response trailer..

This is only a single light , no transformer but the ends are on the light. if you need a transformer the only place I have found them is from Brinkmann

Most items sold on Amazon have a 30 day return policy. I am curious as to why you think the transformer might be blown as it is built into the unit. One of the units I got had a dead remote battery so it wouldn't turn on the light. I used a new battery and the light turned on. Maybe try that?

The light uses a 110V to charge it. I suppose you can use a travel charger, as long as it's for 110V. It's a great light, I have 3 of them.

I think mag light has a conversion kit for 220 on your website or we could try ZBATTERY.COM / maglite parts

comes with a plug-in transformer(120v)...think this was your question...good luck.

Yes...there are different size transformers...but with any low volt or line volt lighting simply take the total wattage of the lighting strip..(60ft.) say maybe 200 watt....and divideby your voltage which I believe is 12v. on these...this would be 16.66 amps.....so make sure the wire you run from the transformer is rated at least 20 amps.....(#12 wire)This should work for you and be safe.....Make sure your transformer wattage output is equal to or less than your strip light wattage.
