I currently have a 12 Volt AC supply, will these lights work? The specifications just say 12 Volts. If DC is required, can I use a rectifier to convert the AC to DC?

these LEDs run off of DC current only. Yes a AC to DC bridge rectifier will work. I have ran these LEDs off of DC voltages ranging from 5.5v to 14v but I had to be sure to calculate the current needed and match the power supply to the needs. Higher voltages usually supply less current. LEDs run on current.

No. If you use a rectifier you would have less than 12vdc. I am pretty sure you just need to buy a 12vdc power supply

It would be best to simply use a 12 V DC adapter as offered in our Amazon store or on HitLights.com.

They need dc voltage. Not sure how you are using them but if you have ac (alternating current) you will need to use a transformer that converts it into dc (direct current). I used them on my golf cart witch has 12 dc so all I needed was an in line fuse.

They will not work on Ac voltage. A rectifier may work. You will get some voltage drop. Depending on how many feet you are running it may not affect it too bad. Won't hurt to try. You may have to add a filter cap too. 12 volt DC supply's are cheap though. I'd just buy one. You don't need a big one. Low current draw with LEDs.

I used this power supply for 12V LED path lights with an AC to DC converter module from superbrightleds.com to convert the AC output to DC. Worked well.

I have them Wired directly to 12v.... And each peice desea Less than .06 Amps so 100 lights would be 6 Amps +/- at 12v

The lights state they are DC voltage. This transformer is is AC. They will not work.

you should be able to get chassis box, switch and wire hook up at Radio Shack or similar store. good luckhope your led lights will work on 12vdc, otherwise you have to go the inverter route.

Never heard of a 12ac fixture. Most use either 120v ac direct or run through a ac/dc converter and output 12v dc. But to answer your question, no dc only.

The specs say 12v DC input/out 6amp so light would have to be a12v dc lighting system. Typically house lights will be using 110 as the souce and then MAY transform it down but sounds like you really need to get a remote 110 device. This device is really meant for for vehicle type 12v systems and the wires are small gage.

The LED lights operate on A/C voltage between 85v and 264v. The low voltage system output is probably only 12v to 25v so these would not work. Some low volt systems may also operate on DC and again the 10 watt lights use AC.

This transformer converts 120 volts AC to 12v DC . It output ampage is very low. This will not work for what you are attempting to do. With out looking at your 220 volt lights its hard tp be exact. But if you can find a 120 volt bulb that fits the light and make sure its connected to a 120volt source it will work fine. If they came with a 240volt plug. You will have to change it to a 120volt plug . I hope this helps

If they are 110v, I would expect it to work fine. Mine is connected to a single switch that controls 2 outdoor lights. They have regular bulb, but I don't see any difference, it's just turning a circuit on or off.

These run on 12v direct current. You need to install a 50e max 120vac-12vdc transformer to do the job

Since these are 12V LEDs, they require a separate 12V power supply and I suspect that the 12V power supply would not handle being on a dimmer circuit. There is a low cost dimmer available, see LE® RF Dimmer for Single Color LED Strips, LED Ribbon, RF Dimmer for 12V DC LED Light Strips, 8A, Wireless Remote Control for All Dimmable 3528 5050 LED Strip

I cut the plug off and stripped the two wires. Then I attached them using butt connectors to wires from a 12 v battery. There are power supplies available on Amazon to fit these lights if you are using them in a 110 v environment as well.

They're designed for DC voltage, but if regular bulbs work these should. LEDs can be turned on and off really fast, so if the frequency if the alternating current isn't fast enough, you will be able to see a rapid flickering that you wouldn't see in a bulb since their cool remains hot. Most home AC is 60hz so I'd imagine that it should be just fine, they may burnout tho sooner than normal, but that could still be a very long time.

As long as they can take 12V DC power it will work fine. Depending on the light you may or may not need an inverter.

There is no reason it wouldn't work on a 12V system as long as it is DC (Malibu Lights ???), anyhow, you may wish to use a dimmer with them. They are really bright and dimming them should extend their life.

They do work with AC. Most landscape lighting power supplies are transformers that convert 110V AC to 12V AC... these lights work with 12V AC power.
