No.. from what I could tell of it's statistics it's an exact match for the one which came with the glo-wire but the one that came with the glo-wire died after about 2 hours of use
They were both light switch-mode ones. The glo-wire was bought direct from the US (and came with it's transformer, the one that died, which did handle our 240v and plug type).

I'll give the old ones a shot (seeing as I think/hope I have some of them that will suit) and then consider the Jaycar toroidal .. thanks.
