Greetings. Can you power these utilizing a LV landscape lighting transformer that delivers 12v A/C ???

I'm not sure what that gadget is. I have mine running off 12v DC and they're fine. To illuminate a room, I have 3 of these bulbs in a cluster and they're great. Just using one was too little, using two was "almost" ok. Three is just right. I've had mine since about last May and (I have 6) they've been great, still working. My concern was "will they burn out after turning them off/on a few times", but no, they're terrific. Perhaps the LED technology is better than incandescent.

Sun-In-One solar powered Sign and landscape lighting kit can power and 12 or 24 volt bulb for 12 to 14 hours a day for up to three days with out sun. The size of the kit is dependent on the number of lights and there wattages.

You can certainly try, the voltage should work with the light, but you will likely get a 60 Hz flicker that may bother some people because the LEDs will cut off half of the 60 Hz sine wave from the transformer. If you already have the transformer, try it with one bulb; if you're just looking for a way to use 120 VAC, get a AC-DC converter that just puts a rectifier on the output of the transformer: (http://www.amazon.com/Wagan-Amp-12V-Power-Adapter/dp/B000P7O5DG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1386119232&sr;=8-3&keywords;=120v+ac+to+12v+dc+converter)

No, requires a transformer. I connected mine to a power station that controls my lighting.

They work just fine on 12V AC. I have them in several Malibu-style lights off my pool'sbreaker box transformer and also in my Spa, which is also 12V AC.Hope this helps!

No a power transformer will be needed. Search for 12V minimum of 2 AMPS to power these lights. Since most transformers come with a barrel connector and the LED lights come with a barrel receiver they plug together well. I have purchases these type of lights for 3 projects and very happy with the output.

Sounds like you're trying to use them in a motor home. The input/output specs aren't listed on the fixture so the transformer requirements you'd need are unknown. I've never seen an output this bright coming from a 12 volt source. Good luck.

If they are 110v, I would expect it to work fine. Mine is connected to a single switch that controls 2 outdoor lights. They have regular bulb, but I don't see any difference, it's just turning a circuit on or off.

Nope, you will need a 120ac/12vdc power supply for these lights. These are light emitting DIODES, so you must observe the proper polarity when you are hooking them up.

There is no reason it wouldn't work on a 12V system as long as it is DC (Malibu Lights ???), anyhow, you may wish to use a dimmer with them. They are really bright and dimming them should extend their life.

I am using them on a standard low voltage outdoor lighting system. I don't know if that means DC or AC.

These lights are 12 volt DC powered. Your home is wired for 110 AC. You could use a transformer but probably not the best solution for your needs. These lights are hard wired and not plug in. All of the above aside, I am happy with the product and installed 6 of them on my boat.

The bulb works with 12 V DC only not with any AC voltage. You mention that your outdoor low voltage landscape lighting is AC if that is right the bulb will not work. I believe that you are wrong, all landscape lighting are DC,then the bulb will work. Recheck your outdoor system and if is DC (not AC) you are good to go !

No they are designed for 115v ac. If energized @ 12vdc I would expect no discernable light ourput

No. 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 see no reason that wouldn't work. One end of the lights have a coax connector that plugs into a standard 12V adapter. The other end has two wires for connecting to another string. The second string would require removing the connector and connecting the wires to the first string. Each string will take about 20W so you have plenty of power for up to 10 strings. I would recommend soldering the wires, but that is not absolutely necessary if you make a good connection. One question - does that transformer put out AC or DC? The lights require DC.

I have them running off a 12 VDC battery in a vehicle, which is around 13.8 volts DC. If you use a 12 volt DC power supply it will work. MAke sure the output current of the power supply is sufficient to power to lights. IN other words, do not use a very small plug-in 12VDC power supply. Use one that is at least the size of a normal men's wallet. If you use too small of a power supply it could overheat the power supply. THese lights work fantastic. Theyve been on my vehicle for over a year now and continue to work flawlessly.

No, these are pure 12 volt dc. They will not work correctly with an ac source..

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.
