Too much amps!

That's not how amps work. It is the device that draws the amps it needs from the transformer. The rating on the transformer is simply the maximum it can safely and continuously deliver, it is not forcing that amperage continuously down the cable, just in the same way your wall plugs are rated to 13amp, but your devices will draw much less.

So you always want to go for a transformer that is rated more than the device you are using, to reduce wear and overheating of the transformer.
 
This is what you get from CO2 art to make them universal. But obviously I don't have a UK one, I think it's what you are looking for. Maybe they could help?

Sorry, just saw your picture.......I'm on the wrong track.

Oh right, electrics not my strong point!
So that would work then?

Yep, it would work fine. I have several of them working on various 12v devices that I imported that came with no-UK adapters. What is the amperage shown on the adapter that came with the light?
