Can you use a 7 volt bulb with much difference?

I do not know whether or not a 7 volt bulb can be used, but why on earth would anybody want to use a bulb like this when the LED bulbs that come with the set are less than 1 volt and give off a great light? Additionally, using higher voltage bulbs will greatly reduce the number of lights that can be run from the transformer that comes with the kit.

I honestly do not know , these thing`s seem to be disposable ? I see no where to remove bulb , but they are very nice for the simplicity and the price , I have not yet lost any of the 5 set`s we have in the spot`s and this one , and they do just enough light for my own personal need`s .

No, this is designed for 12 volt systems. The bulb will not work with other power sources. Also, the Switch 8 only has a USB output.

I believe these bulbs were 7 volts AC. I am not sure if they are ok for outdoor use. I used them indoors in my windows with the candelabra lights. Out of 20 I bought maybe two actually worked correctly. I threw them all in the garbage.

Yes, different bulb. Should consider a harness with direct wiring to battery and relay. This will eliminate flicker.

You should be able to change the light to whatever 12v light fits. A 50-watt MR16 halogen bi-pin bulb comes with it.

Not as is, these bulbs have a transformer to step the voltage down. Try here - E27 White Light 60 Led (3.0w 12v) Light Bulb

Yes, any voltage. Just be sure what sockets you use those for. US candelabra sockets are E12, European popular are E14. Many China-made LED bulbs are made with E14.

It depends on which electric way supply to the bulbs,we suggest you can ask help from some local technical people about this.Generally, the AC DC 12V is more common in use, since AC DC 12V is compatible with most of power supply adapter.

Of course you can. I personally use 7W LED bulbs (about as bright as a 40W cool white bulb). Perfect for our daughter's room.

No. The maglight bulbs are a totally different design. Plus the power ratings are different.

Yes, I used 4 w 12 v bulbs in these sockets. Malibu light transformer. GO ><>'

No - just be sure to order a unit the same voltage as your existing light. Get a 120v model if your existing system is 120v, or get a 12v model if your existing system is 12v.

In the bulb selection process .. The details are a process.. Make sure the voltage matches.. Sometimes the led is 12?volt.. Sometimes 120 volt (with the driver built into the bulb). So whatever voltage your existing bulb is .. The led needs to match. .. And go high kelvin numbers for better visibility

i don't think they are the same size bulbs, plus even at 50% (the lowest setting on the balast) your looking at running at 500 watts.

You can use either a 7 watt or 4 watt wedge based bulb depending on how much light you need.

The simple answer is yes. A more practical response is that this light bulb is only 7 watts, not much more than a typical plug-in night light - the kind you plug into a wall outlet. A dimmer (switch) most likely will not offer any benefit. If the light fixture where you wish to use this size bulb is controlled by a dimmer, then most likely you will turn the switch to the maximum brightness and leave it there.
