Hello
Our rather expensive CostCo Christmas tree has gone kaput with a few days til Christmas day. The wire coming out of the moulded wall plug has broken.
I'm now on the (perhaps futile) hunt for a replacement transformer to cheer up my very dejected girlfriend.
I wondered if you kind bods had any information that would help me find one? I've Googled extensively but without really knowing terms I might need to know for the connector type. Plus I'm not an electronics guy.
The UK plug is a KPTEC LED driver model K25V3000083B constant voltage. Output is 30V and then some dots and 0.83A and then 24.9W. The connector between the transformer and the tree lights is a round two pin that screws together with a shroud. I'm going to try to upload a pic.
If I can't get a replacement transformer with the correct connector (unlikely) then I wondered if I could buy a transformer of the correct output, strip the wires and connect them using a connector block. Obviously it would have to be ultra safe, being mains powered.
We don't really want to give up on a £400 tree after 2 years for a total of 6 weeks use!
We'll be getting in contact with CostCo but I don't hold out much hope.
Any help is much appreciated!
