I obtained a Dais DA-J60 'electronic transformer' from a local electrical supplier. This was designed to be wired in series with the mains supply and the lamp, so I removed the PCB from it's plastic case, connected it's primary to the L & N pins of the 'wall-wart' case which housed the original, replaced the flying leads of the o/p with the 2-pin socket from the original. The assembly was fitted into the 'wall-wart' case (Fortunately this one was just clipped together!), connected to the clamp lamp, which now works perfectly. The Dais PSU cost les than £8, and the job above took all of ten minutes. The olny downside is the I now have a faulty PSU PCB which will be scrapped, because it's just not cost-effective to find and fix the fault! (BTW the Dais DA-J60 is rated 20-60W/VA so should power a 35-36 Watt Halogen Bulb for years to come)
