Question What power supply do I need? Lighting for a Flats Box
Ok you guys with electrons flowing in your veins, here's one for you.

I've just finished (well....all but finished) an Eddie Trimarchi flats box, using 20 Watt halogens. (Now bare with me here as I'm not the brightest streetlamp in the street when it comes to things electrical so don't laugh.) I tried to light them up with my trusty ol' 15ah jumpstarter battery and they barely raised a glow, so I tried my trusty ol' D1ck Smith 12V 3 amp transformer. Well it wasn't quite what I'd call spectacular.
What do I need to get these thing to rock my sock?

Oh and where do I get the ultra white halogens, these standard ones look pretty yellow?

Thanks
