Can I wire this to 110vac power so it is always on, and then use DC switches to turn lights on and off?

I see no reason you couldn't it uses very little power I susupect if there is no load on it it is drawing nothing

The output of this (electronic) transformer is 11.7VAC (AC!), not DC. That being said, most low voltage DC switches will function OK with when used with low voltage AC. "jimyastic" makes a good point about circuit protection, however I would assume if this device conforms to required UL standards (UL approved?) then it's behaviour during use and when it fails has been satisfactorily addressed and shouldn't be of concern.

I am sure you could do that. The plug on it is just a basic plug with a power switch. The patterns are controlled with a button on the light it's self. Just use caution and make sure you know for sure what wire is hot and ground

If the power supply converts the AC waveform to a DC one yes. The light is ideal for using with a solar or wind power supply.There is no need to change the DC power from a solar panel to AC, just hook it directly to any 12v battery and enjoy a very bright light that uses very little power.

It requires 120 to operate as far as can remember. With that being said you could use the switch to turn on the outlet that the power supply plugs into.

Yes. What you're doing is giving your outlet and on off switch. When it's turned on, the switch will light up green and the outlet will be powered.

I see no reason why not. Just remember the supply wire from the battery to a switch then to the main connection point of all four lights must be able to support the total wattage of ALL the lights combined. The switch ( if there is one ) must also be able to handle the total wattage.

Yes, you will need reconfigure the light and it will require 20 watts dc power. Or you can just get a power inverter.

This light works with 110v power supply. I actually turned the lights into plug in lights by connecting them to an extension cord. They are on a switch for my house and they work great.

Yes. If you already have undercounted lights you will already have a 110v feed to those lights. I used that feed and put an outlet just inside the cabinets.

I've installed 8 of these lamps in my garage off of a single 110v line on a power switch. You can splice and run to each lamp no problem.

The LEDs in this light operate on DC. The AC adapter/transformer is built into the unit, and cannot be bypassed.

Yes. this is part of description. "switching power supply that converts your home's standard AC 110~220-volt power source to DC power"

You need a NinjaMcPowerConverter. But seriously....the simplest way is probably to get a cheap dc to ac converter from Northern Tool and just plug in the existing power supply. There are better ways, but not as simple, and I think you want simple. About 20 bucks gets the converter. It's cheap, and won't even turn a screw-gun, but it will power low-amp lights.

The only way that you could do that is to wire an outlet that was controlled by the switches. You also would not be able to use florescent bulbs in the lamp.
1883086
Yes. That's how I wired mine. The directions explain how, but its pretty obvious, there are two power leads - continuous and switched power.

This is a great light and you must understand that this light is powered by 12 volt electricity, not your standard household 110 volt. So with this said, yes you could wire a wall mount switch between the light and the battery to turn the power ON and OFF. We use this light in a remote location that has no 110 power so we use a car battery to power the light. Hope this helps...............Dave

Its only a 5 Watt panel so no. Running something from a solar panel, without a DC battery, isnt practical anyway if you need any sort of a constant voltage.
