Hi, I need help with my grandad's homemade Christmas Nativity hut. He used two 240V AC to 12V DC transformers for the lighting, but they are getting very hot as they are quite old (from the 1990s). Since it's the first Christmas without my grandad, I want to use the Nativity hut in my home this year.
The bulbs are two 12V w5w push-fit car bulbs. I tried using a single transformer, but the light is too dim. The reason that my grandad used two transformers to keep each bulb brighter.
I'm considering using a single 24V DC transformer for both bulbs to keep them bright. Will this be safe, or will it cause the bulbs to blow? I don't want to use LED bulbs because I strongly dislike their rapid flickering that I can see with my naked eyes.
