Hi,
The supply in this photo powers an incandescent bulb of a Zeiss
microscpe. http://easthope.ca/ZeissLampSupplyLPS7.5.jpg
That supply accepts 110 V input. The bulb is marked 6 V 15 W. For
several decades, the 'scope was commoplace in North America. Likely a similar supply accepting 220 V input was common outside North
America.
I want to find a power adapter which accepts 220 V input. eBay has
this and similar listings. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/185935059631
If the output connection is compatible with the plug on the lamp cord,
the supply should work but the total price is approximately 670
Canadian dollars. =8~/ Rather pricey to power a small bulb.
A simple alternative is a 6 V brick adapter and potentiometer.
Other ideas?
Thanks, ... Peter E.

Temu [usually ships quickly fron US] or AliExpress [ships slow from
China] has low volatage PWM motor controls for only a few dollars that
you could adapt.

I am constantly reminded that this venue exists to find the most complicated solution to the simplest problem.
