Can I use 50 watt bulb in a Malibu 20 watt floodlight? They are both 12v.

Hello Lou,I would say yes, you can. But check the following. Transformer,to make sure you have enough power ,light housing, having enough room, in which the 50 watt is a bit bigger,and get a little warmer.

Yes. I installed a 12v 50w reflector several months ago and so far so good. I guess they are worried about heat on plastic parts.

I'm sure you can find a 12v 50 watt bulb that will fit, but I don't know if the enclosure will be able to handle the additional heat that will be produced. If you're looking for brighter, I would try to find an LED bulb that will produce less heat.

I don't think the 50 watt bulb will fit in the fixture. It may touch the glass cover and cause it to crack from over heating.

I don't recall the make/model of lights we use on ours.But the manual I have says this for Bulbs: max 150 watt PAR or quartz flood lamps, PL fluorescent flood with low temp. start

This bulb fits a standard light socket, but it must be wired to a 12V source and not a normal 120V source. Great bulbs! I have 30+ in use.

Different Malibu lights use different bulbs. If your low voltage fixture uses a MR16 bulb, it will fit.

Our directions say to use a 12v 35W Type JC lamp and that's what's currently in our lamp. If you Google that you should be able to find it. I've also had good luck with taking bulbs to Home Depot for matching.

I believe that the "MR16-130-50W" is a bulb rated for 130-volt power. The Torchstar LED MR-16 is a bulb designed for a 12-volt lighting system - you would have to use a transformer to provide the correct power to these bulbs if your power source is 130 volts. Also, check the photo of the Torchstar bulb, it has two prongs that project into the base - these prongs are straight pins - make sure that this shape fits properly into your fixtures. I hope that this helps.

Yes, same as Malibu or automotive lamps and must be 12 volts for proper lighting. Will work at slightly less than 12 volts, but would not recommend. Last for ever in out door lighting.

That is what I use mine on. Add up bulb wattage, should be less than wattage of transformer. I use LED bulbs and can use over a hundred on one 88W transformer, Malibu uses 7W incandescent so 11 or 12 would be the limit.

i am not sure. if the the bulbs fits then sure. I used 60 watt bulbs - the 40 watt suggested was not bright enough. I will say that I love this light. i an using it in my carport and during the long winter days, it has been a life saver.

It will work with ALL 12v low voltage lights (like Malibu). I've used these to build my own low voltage lights using 1/2" copper tubing and plumbing connectors and glass "shredded cheese" shakers (inverted of course - so they screw on and off) bought from dollar stores and/or Walmart. They make great lights.

As long as it is dc lighting. Don't exceed 300watts per circuit. I retro fitted 50watt halogen flood lights with 4watt led bulbs and all is good

I use this switch on a pair of 150 watt halogen flood lights, see the switch specs below - 50 watt will work just fine. Halogen comes under the official designation of incandescent.Wall Switch (WE-001); On/Off function on devices up to 1000WWorks with incandescent, fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps

Yes. I just replaced my 12volt, 50watt light bulbs with these and they work great.

Hi. You can not use a bulb that requires more than 13watts for each socket. You will burn out the socket.

They are 150W max each bulb and designed for standard PAR38 floodlights. CFL's would probably work, but I would use LED if the goal is long life between bulb replacements or lower power. Something like: "Philips 422196 17-Watt PAR38 LED Outdoor Flood Light Bulb" available on Amazon. You shouldn't have any issue with the fixture itself - high quality and long lasting.

I don't know about the bulb you have. this other one is a 60W candelabra type bulb that is about 50% brighter than a normal 60W bulb.

no, the solar lights use a miniature LED light that is not compatible with the 4 watt Malibu - style bulbs
