I have an older power compact coralife lunar aqua light. I bought it used and it didn't come with the led transformer. Does anybody know where I can get one? I searched the Internet with no luck
 
What are you trying to do? LEDs don't use transformers, they use drivers. You might have better luck searching for them.

I'm trying to get a plug for the led. The guy i bought it from said it was missing the transformer. I guess I was looking for the wrong thing
 
I need a plug like this

I can tell you what I would try. Look at some of the wall chargers for handheld kids devices such as games or Leapster. Find one that transforms AC down to an acceptable DC voltage. Goodwill, Salvation Army stores are good places to look.
Now if the plug doesn't fit. Walmart and others have universal adapters. It will have several sizes of plugs. Pick one that fits the LED plug on your lights. Splice the wires together from the plug that fits to the wires on the DC side wires of the transformer(temporarily). Plug it in and see if the LEDs light. If so use electrical tape and tape up your splices.

If they dont light and you feel the voltage from the transformer is adequate. Swap the wires around on your temp. splice. LEDs only light if the polarity is correct. Try again.

Hope this helps

You can do that too. Same advice if they don't light & you feel the voltage is adequate. Cut wires and reverse them.
