can I use this bulb with 12v a/c? Thanks

I bought it for an RV, it's not regulated for AC, 12volt only. Hope this helps

Yes you can. It's a so called RV or boat lamp. It is very unreliable however. I would not buy this lamp again.

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.

Yes - I use these bulbs on exterior landscape lighting fixtures that are on a 12 volt a/c (via Malibu low voltage transformer). You can use any normal 120 volt incandescent fixture (which takes normal "old fashioned" bulbs), add to a low voltage line and utilize these low-voltage LED bulbs. They do a great job - so far 7 months running 4 hours per night and no problems. Do not put bulbs in a normal residential 120 volt circuit.

Yes. This light bulb has a working voltage range of 85V-240V AC and works with both 50/60 Hz

It does not include a lamp, so it is not necessarily voltage sensitive. The socket is a standard screw in for PAR type bulbs.

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.

I do not believe so. The wiring is setup for 110V and the bulb is 110v. I am not an electrician however and I cannot comment on what it would take to make it 220 V

Read the discription. U need 12 v pannels renology sells them. If u are changing the voltage to ac. Its really not advisable to do it at 12 volts. 24 or 48 is way better.

Hi,Light bulbs liked the Christmas light types and used 120 AC voltage. Hope it helps. Thanks.

I must reconsider my answer after looking at this a little closer. The lights do require 12vDC and not AC. There is such an adapter sold elsewhere on Amazon that can power this string. I would have to say that you probably cannot use this transformer.

I expect it will work, but won't be as bright as the 18v transformer. The bulbs are rated at 14 volts and they are in series so in theory the fixture could handle twice your 12v source.

These bulbs do work with 12v. The equivalent output is approx. 10 watts. The light is whiter than the incandescent bulbs but does not go blue. They are a good option for reducing power usage but not for increasing light output. I have only been using them for about two weeks so I cannot speak to longevity.

Unfortunately, we don't carry the GU5.3 base light bulb in 120V AC. We only have this kind of light bulb in low voltage (12V).

Yes it works on 12v AC. It changes colors by pushing the pushbutton that activates your lights. You can basically swap this light bulb for your old standard colored bulb.

This bulb has a single contact on the bottom for + and the side connects to the -. It also draws 1.44 watts so around .11 amps. It is a 12 volt bulb also. I surmise that it should work, but I cannot find the specs on your particular bulb.

If the Halogen Bulb works in a standard Incandescent Fixture (120V) it should work fine.

On lamp, by bulb it says to use only 13 Watt 120V60Hz AC only replacement bulb. I highly recommend using on OttLite Brand bulbs.

Negative. The climate control lamps are a different bulb altogether; for starters, the climate cntl bulbs are much smaller, 14v not 12v. Have a look at this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nHBhIngJU4 .. best, John R

I expect yours is defective. Mine runs continuously on 14vdc from a little wall wart powersupply. A 12v lead battery fully charged will be at ~13.7 (14vdc). Note that your bulb is also designed to run on ~12VAC from a little transformer and no rectifier like a doorbell transformer. I suspect the bulb would have the same issue using AC power.
