Transformer plug help

The plug for our outside lights has lost a pin somehow. I’ve Googled a replacement
31V 8W led control gear
and it throws up some -such as this Amazon one- but I can’t find one that is 8W. Even a search on Amazon only brings up a Max 7.2w.
Can anyone help me find a replacement please?

Or this one has quicker delivery. Reviews are a bit mixed though. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08J7RH6Q3/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_DMP0T1T6X9J896DCXCF8?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Thanks but the lights4fun ones say they are only safe to only use with their lights -I get that this is to protect them- and none of them are 8W, neither is the Cubeplug & I’d be terrified of burning my house down as they say in the answers to questions to only use with the correct W.

I think I will just recycle them at the electrical facility and get new. Thanks anyway.

They're all at least 8W. The power drawn from one of those power supply units is determined by the load you connect to it. You don't have to match it exactly, just use a PSU that's capable of supplying the amount needed. And yes, of course lights4fun want to sell you a new set of lights as well as a plug-in adapter!

Fair enough to buy a new set of lights though, if that's what you're confident doing and you can afford to. 🙂
