Phil - It is a 6V regulated mains adpater. I was advised once to always use regulated PSU's for my nice, expensive astronomy equipment.

Freespace - I already have a 24VDC 1A regulated mains adapter and the series design means I only have to solder 1 resistor into the circuit, so being lazy and not too skilled with a soldering iron, I’ll go that route.
Thanks again guys
