sockets low voltage repair

I have a dozen 12v pathlights, and need to replace the bulbs, sockets in many. Each socket is a boyonet single contact with a 12v 12watt lamp. The socket is swaged to an l bracket which screws into the interior of the fixture. A pigtail goes down through the central pipe about 18 inches or less. I'm wondering if these sockets are still available, or, could I replace the bulbs and sockets with halogen about the same wattage? I can't find the sockets at auto supplies, dixieline, home depot, or on the web. I'd prefer to repair the fixtures rather than replace them. They are a two tier pagoda style with a central "jar" open on the bottom with a hemispheric top, about 3.25 inches in diameter, and about 5 inches tall. The bottom is threaded. the fixtures are aluminum. Help? Thanks

Well, you might have to get creative to replace these sockets.  You can do it.  We have some Single Contact Sockets with mounting Bracket - SKT T11 that are close to what you have described.  You might have to use a end butt connector to extend the positive wire and use the fixture body or run a new wire for the other lead wire.

The Single Contact Socket Base - TEC MPLS is another low voltage socket that might work for you. It is designed to fit in a 1/2" knockout hole.  It has two wires that are long enough to fit your stem.  You would have to fabricate a bracket or silicone the socket in place.
