Power supply help needed

[glasgowcyclist]

I’ve been given a Jessops LP1218 light box but it is missing its power supply and I’m trying to find a replacement.

It needs to be 24V output, 2A, with a jack of 5.5mm O/D and inner pin of 2.1mm. I can find plenty of these but the polarity is always positive outer/negative inner, when I need it the other way round.

Anybody know where I can get what I need?

You can get adjustable multi purpose power packs. So change the voltage and there's a selection of power plugs. Maybe that would work?

I’ve spent ages on Amazon and Ebay and it’s not the voltage or jack that’s the problem but everything I’ve found has the wrong polarity.

Jessops no longer stock it either.

Some of the universal power supplies have a connector in the cable that can be reversed to change polarity.

Failing that, cut the cable and rejoin it reversed.

Have you tried Tandy? I purchased something similar in the distant past.

I thought Tandy had disappeared a long time ago, but it still exists online.

Thanks but that’s only 12V output, not 24V.

So cut the cable in the middle and swap over.

I’d set something on fire if I tried that!
Luckily my brother is a whizz with such stuff and he’s going to do it for me.

Rofl.

It is a dc lead. You just use a connector block if you want to neat. Bullet connectors are fine too.
Will be about 50p at toolstation.

Just cut the wires, resolder reverse connection
