I got given an old Ikea lamp the other day( see pic) and I was wondering how it works . It is 12v and the transformer is in the base part . The bulb ,which looks like a halogen bulb ( and is very bright) is ,obviously ,in the top part but the only connection between the two is the extending pair of legs . Does the 12 v get carried via these legs ?. What is likely to happen if the two legs get shorted together ? Just the job for using near my PC .
