Specification list shows 12 volts dc. I want to use with my landscape lighting system which is 12v ac. Anyone used them this way safely?

Yes, I installed the light in my Malibu system, and it is working fine. It is not equipped with a connector to do this, so you will have to come up with a connector or solder the light to the supply wire. I have had no problems following the installation.

I have 8 lites connected to a Malibu system and they work great. They are all submerged in an fountain

What is 12 v ac ? If it has a transformer that plugs into the wall, it converts to 12v dc.

Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. You need 12V DC for the LED. I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide. You can get it from Amazon. 72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DC A demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzarYlOnPc﻿

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.

This unit which is excellent as far as light produced per watt comes in two versions, 120 Volt AC and 12 Volt DC. I have no experience with the 120V ac but I like the brightness of the 12 Volt DC unit. They are NOT interchangeable.

I believe these bulbs are good for 12 volt ac or dc, not sure where they came up with the 110 volt. I personally used them for some overhead elevator lights which were 12 volts ac without any problems.

These are 12V (probably AC only)If you will have transformer to 12V they will work technically. If you have an isntallation with multiple MR16s and you would like to change it to LED I would recommend to change the transformer to LED version. Otherwise it may not work or if it will work you will decrese the lifespan of the bulb (I work for LED manuacturing company in EU)

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.

No. These operate on 120V AC. You'd have to have a transformer/converter for LED lights to run them on a 12V DC circuit. Why not just run line voltage to these lights?

I power my pavers with 12V AC (transformer), however DC would be okay as well.

Output as stated on the label on my unit is 12 volt AC. Works to power my low voltage lights along my driveway no problem. I have the unit in a shed and use a mirror to activate the light sensor

i thought the same that 12-110-120 would work on either 12V or on 120 we need these for our properties in Belize that are all high volt 110 not landscape lights running on 12V after trying many this is the only one that i have found works on 110V if you find other please let me know Ostart MR16 110v Indoor LED Light Ceiling Light Bulb 4W Day White 6000k-6500k

yes, mine work on a 12v system. The only thing I can't specify is whether mine is an AC or DC system.

Donald and Richard are correct. You need a 12 volt transformer used for low voltage landscape lighting. Wattage should be at least 20 watts (not "low wattage") plus total wattage of any other lights you want to power with the transformer. Amazon or Lowes has them.

Absolutely leverage your landscape lights if you have them. Its way easier and cheaper than to use your standard 120V transformer. Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. You need 12V DC for the LED. I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done: 72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DCThere's also a YouTube video on how to use it, although it's fairly self-explanatory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzarYlOnPc

Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. LED strip lights require 12V DC. If you need 12V DC, I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done.

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!

I have 12V DC lighting. The converter box plugged into the wall is AC however, it converts it to 12v DC. I replaced 7 watt bulbs with these. I have some lights with the 7w filament bulbs and some with these LED's. The LED's are very comperable to the 7 watt bulbs, if anything perhaps not quite as bright. I would say the output equivilant is is 6-7 watts.
