My cans are elco type cans, Transformer: 120V / 12V / 50VA Magnetic Transformer AC Type. Will these bulbs work? And will they be dimmabale?

I wish I could answer this for you but I received bulbs totally different than what I thought they were. I have no idea how to use these, sorry.

They are likely to work fine and dim. I have around 15 of these bulbs installed in similar fixtures and frequently have them dimmed, using several different types of dimmers.

I believe they will and will dim. Ck Phillips web site for dimmer compatibility

Yes they can. Note these are 12 Volt bulbs and fit in a socket that is designed for it. As long as they have the transformer built into the fixture they will work fine. We have them installed in there pendent fixture without a dimmer switch and they work OK.

Yes they are 120v. I haven't tried them on a dimmer but am sure they would work.

I have an electrical engineering degree but have changed career years ago. Unfortunately, technological knowledge has slipped. However, I gave some thought concerning any potential issue if I were to use a low voltage transformer (AC of course) to power these lights. I suppose powering them with with an AC transformer may cause more degradation and shorten the life of the bulbs but other than that, I could not come up with any reason on why they won't work. So, I bought eight to put into my two lamp posts and they seem to work fine with the transformer as a power source. I'm not sure if running the lights with a DC source would produce more lumens but with my transformer, four bulbs in one lamp post still seem dark, definitely not the claimed 75W equivalent (someone already claimed that he measured the power consumed to be less than 5W instead of 9W). However, for my purpose with the lamp posts being decorative, the lumens produced seem adequate as I do have other light sources, if needed. Concerning your question of will they last, I don't expect the degradation to cut the life of the bulb by half but have no data to back up my claim.

A halogen bulb is categorized as incadescent, so yes this transformer will work so long as your bulb is 12 volts. At 150 watts, you can have up to seven 20 watt bulbs.

The ones we bought are 12v. They plug into a socket/fixture that is wired to 120v but I believe the fixture has a step-down transformer. They have worked well for us.

Understand you need a Transformer for the lights,unless you operating off 12 Volts DC. If you have a Power supplywith an input of 240 Volts and output of 12volts DC they will work.These lights require Low voltage D.C. to operate

These LED bulbs will light properly even if you switch POS. & NEG at a battery. The polarity is directed correctly internally with diodes in the regulating circuit. Therefore they would light if you were to use AC voltage. However, I would not recommend AC without consulting the bulb manufacturer because 12 volts AC is 12 volts (average) RMS. The peak voltage would be much higher and could possibly shorten bulb life significantly.

The supplied bulbs are 120V and the AC cords are also US std, so you would need to either replace most of the kit (expensive), or use a step down transformer.

If the voltage and amperage is the same as regular bulbs they should work fine. They may come on a little slower, but shouldwork fine. check with bulb dealer they should know for sure

The lightbulbs used are not halogen or led. The wattage for the transformer I have ranges from 7 - 11 watts using the wedge base bulb.

The 921 bulbs I googled show to be 12volts, so these should work fine. Remeber these are diodes so if you plug it in backwards it won't work, but it didn't hurt it when I did it. Nice little bulbs.. The one issue I have with the majority of people selling LED lights is poor documentation of the "color" (degrees Kelvin) of the light. Just saying "White" is not enough. They need to be specific. Most people have a preference to one part of the spectrum, or they might be matching some existing bulbs.

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

Yes. Works fine on 12vdc or 12vac. They will dim just fine with a PWM dimmer control even though the manufacturer says they don't

You should be able to use any transformer designed for low voltage (12 volt) lighting. I believe that Amazon may sell some of these transformers - search to find out.

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 they are 12 v supplied to s transformer that boosts voltage to 50,000 volts, ad long as you hsve a dry locstion for thr transformer and a housing for the xenon bulb , it should work fine,
