LED pixel boxes. Not retro, but something I've oft considered building myself!

Yep - something like this:

2A per channel at 8-16V output should do the job for a pair of boxes maybe. Can also ditch the Bulgins and the heavy mains cables too. If I were looking at a conversion project I'd probably start here but as I suspect Wayne has already put a fair bit of time, effort and £££s into the existing conversions a handful of resistors is probably the cheapest fix.

2A per channel isn't a problem. The LED Harlequins I use equate to .01A per lamp.
The 8-16v is the big problem there. I've shelled out a couple of hundred quid on the 240v versions

I thought you might say that... which lamps are you using?

For the dozen or so in the inifinity tunnel, standard incandesent 25w Harlequins just to drain the residual current
For the rest, these: https://www.lyco.co.uk/crompton-harl...yonet-cap.html
