Has anyone come across a device for lowpower mains AC to DC conversion ?.  I am looking for 250mA@12V from 230VAC for lighting pwuposes(isolation not a concern)

RE: AC - DC controller/psu chip

I remember an article presenting such a device.  Gaah I don't remember the company's name.  Keep on searching, it does exist!

RE: AC - DC controller/psu chip

skenn; 4-shore, just use a wall wart or a cord wart!  They provide isolation(always nice to have).  They also suck in 90-250VAC usually without complaint.  You can look around and find them pretty cheap too.

I don't want to use bricks, because my solution will be ceiling mounted, maybe inside the lamp (LEDarray) fitting it'self
