Will this work on 12 volts DC? Specs say up to 12 volts. Would like to install it on a motorcycle and do not want to blow it up.

JG, I would definitely sway you away from this light because the very day I got mine and charged the battery up, as soon as I turned it on the LED came on for about 1 second then just went out and never turned on again.

This is a voltage converter. Can step up Voltage from 12 to 12+ volts. Current (amps) will depend on the load and vary by power (load) =volts times amps (p= I*V) Max power for this device is 150 watts. Your motorcycle will have either a 6 volt or 12 volt system. And it sounds like you are trying to power something off a 4 amp (either 24 or 48 watt circuit) and you want a 12 amp circuit. In any case I doubt that this is the device, you need.

I had the same issue with the unit i installed. I looked closer at the specs and realized it is a dc 12 volt unit. If you are using an ac transformer, it will not function correct.

Yes 12V WILL damage it, as it is rated for 5.2 volts DC. But avoid this unit, and seek another manufacturer....as you should note that along with my review, others have experienced the same failure in that it works for about 2-3 months and then goes into a total fail and you end up with a color bar generator....and NO picture. Avoid this garbage.

This device produces 12 volts of DC electricity. If you need 12 volts of DC and do not exceed the amp rating of the unit, it should work.

This is 12V and it is DC. It's primary design is for marine bilge exhaust but many find other uses for the blower.

33 volt DC? I dont suggest that you use it. It is good for 24 volt step down to 12 volt. It works perfectly for me so far in a year

I don'tI don't see why not.It works on 12 voltsIt is very simple to install

Well, the manual says it works with a 6 voltage system, and i didn't check what my voltage was when i was using it. So the only way is to try to find out. Hope it doesn't blow on you.

It will work on 12 or 24 volts DC.I tried it on 24 volts AC and it blew the bulb.

It is for a 12v DC system. Min voltage of you are lucky is 10.5 range is 12-15 volts automotive. Use a step up transformer or a 12 v switching transformer if you want to use it with ac household current.

No i don't think that will work, it has to be 110 plug in!! You would have to change the plug in & then it might blow the motor up!

Yes, it should work well for motorcycle batteries; in fact for almost any small 12 volt battery. Note that it will work as a MAINTAINER for both large and small batteries, but as a CHARGER only for the small ones, probably including your motorcycle battery. I believe that the manufacturer has published data regarding the sizes (capacities) that the unit is capable of charging. I hope that helps...

12 volts DC is 12 volts DC. I'd probably recommend some kind of circuit breaker in case something gets shorted to ground, since batteries mentioned have quite a bit of amperage behind it.

It puts out 6 volts DC and is either 1 or 1.5 AMPs. The AMPs were just a bit under what the bike said it needs, but it still worked just fine.

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.

Yes, it will work with a 12 volt system. However, make sure it has the right plug on the end of the wire
