So, this is a replacement for a lamp socket for a 1980's fiber optic flower that changes color.
I couldn't find a 12v AC 8W bulb it called for it that would work. The ones I got burned out in less than a minute after paying more than $10 bucks to have them delivered. Twice! OK, time for a redesign.
Off to home depot and bought bought this Feit electric spot, 120v AC led mr16, light bulb that's 210 lumens. So, you will have to rewire so that bulb gets 120v AC instead of 12vAC from transformer.
I designed this new lamp holder to replace old one that would fit the new bulb. It is a little tight but woks great.
The bulb will need to have leads soldered to it and heat shrunk. Care full not to over heat bulb leads. Insert light to the holder and adjusted to be below about a 1/16th to 1/8th below color wheel
Abs plastic
Printed with 30% fill
Three side layers
3 top and bottom
