Hi guys.
I purchased 2 similar lamps from Ikea a couple years ago. I used them for about a year then put them in storage for about a year.
The other day I took 1 out & the globe wasn't working. I got a new globe & it was working. After about 5 minutes the globe dimmed over a second or 2. I switched power supplies & the lamp was working again but 5 minutes later the same thing happened again.
When I removed the globe I noticed a tiny instruction inside the lamp: "Max 12V 20W". The globe I was using is 12V 50W! I've tried the correct globe in the lamp now but it won't even switch on.
Have I ruined both the power supplies? They are marked as 12V 1580mA.
Thanx 4 looking.
