computer fan help for fridge incubator

[DarwinBrianT]

Another question, how to I convert 240v power down to a 12v dc computer fan to put in a fridge incubator?

Thanks Brian

Buy a 240v to 12v transformer or use one that you probably have lying around the house. If you look around your place you will probably find one. Just have to cut the end of it and wire it to your fan.
Like this but you dont need that many amps. Just search ebay for one that is about 2-3a. Plenty for a pc fan

Just use a plug pack that is rated the same as the fan or a bit higher

Thanks, I probably do have something here I can convert.

You could use a transformer for down lights.

I found a laptop cooling fan (the kind that you place your laptop on.) that is USB powered and an adapter with a normal plug fitting and a USB fitting on it. Cost about $25 all up and so far so good. It was at my local Tandy.

I didn't find anything around the house but my wife works at a lighting shop so I'll get her to get something for me.
