Use one with a higher voltage. If it uses an AC low voltage supply, then all the regulation is internal. A DC supply will happily pass through the rectifier etc, but if of the same nominal voltage won't be high enough to make the regulation work.

Maplin sell a range of cheap inverters that are available in 24VDC at no extra cost. I have a (12V) one myself and it seems pretty OK, given that it only cost 20 quid.

That sounds promising & I have an expedition to Maplins planned. Ta.
I should mention that it was in a 50% sale at the time, though.

I have seen a lamp with fibre optics fed through a plastic flower - and a synchronous motor to make it twinkle.

They have quite a decent web site. Much easier to phone ahead and make sure they have the thing!
