Is it possible to wire this directly to the wiring from my 12v landscape transformer?

As posted, check the voltage level, and current the landscape xmfr can handle, there is no reason I can think of to prevent if all specs are met to handle the additional load.

Make shure their is no a/c bleed over,and that it is d/c12v. Not 12 v a/c. Then you should be ok. Also double check the amps you only need one or two amps to run the lights. Use a fuse!

I would check the watts and amperage first. I didn't but you might be on to something.

I'm sorry. But are you sure you want to put strobe lights in your landscape. I really don't know if these would be wired into a 12 transformer for your landscape. I would write the company to find out.

Yes you can wire them to any 12v Source.... I put mine on a switch to turn on because the blue led is as bright as a cop car

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC. It does not come packaged with a power adapter for direct 12 volt DC hookup, but you could easily make one. The plug would be the same as the one on the transformer output with the other end being a cigarette lighter automobile type connection or whatever other connection to the 12 volt source you would be using. I do not see any reference to a 12 volt connection in the owners manual, but I see no reason why it could not be done. Just be sure you connect it with the correct 12 volt DC polarity. Or do what the other commentor said. Get an inverter. The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC.

This unit is DC powered, so I'm assuming you are referring to a DC powered system where you are wiring directly to a 12V DC power source... try it!

You should be able to no problem. Just don't use the small 12v transformer that comes with it.

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.

I have mine working on a landscape lighting transformer with output rate 12V AC, and they work fine. After several months, I've had none fail.

Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. Some LED lights need 12V AC, some will need 12V DC, and some will accept both. If you need 12V DC, I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide.

All of the low voltage landscape lights I have seen are DC. If yours is powered by a "transformer box" that plugs in to the wall, it is probably DC also. The box (if you have one) should list the input and output voltages (and AC or DC) on it somewhere. Of course the base would have to match also.

To be perfectly honest with you, if you aren't sure about wiring, maybe this isn't the right product for you. It will mean using trim tools and splicing to a found 12v wire. If you want to press forward, the red goes to a switched +12vdc source, and the black goes to a chassis ground point.Good luck.

You can wire it directly to it. That's how I did mine and haven't had any issues.

Yes, 'hotwire' its on wire in with any ground. Then connect any of the PSU's 12volt rail to power.

If you plan on putting these lights outdoor, you should absolutely leverage your landscape lights if you have them. Its way easier and cheaper than to use the standard 120V transformer.
