Can these lights be used/modified to work with 12v DC?

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.

Our 19W Recessed Lighting fixtures are made to work with high voltage lighting system (110-120V). We do not recommend customers to modify the lights in any shape or form because it might cause damage to the light. However, if customer insists on trying, we would need to let customers know any lights that have been modified will not be covered by the 1-year product warranty.

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?

These are 12 volt not 120 volt! With that said you could use a 12 volt DC transformer or a 12 volt battery

The voltage converter is integrated, so it is not intended for 12V use. If you search Amazon, you will find that there is available a virtually identical-looking 10 watt unit designed for 12V AC/DC. Therefore I would say that it is not worth it to purchase these with the intent to open them up and modify them for 12V use.

Absolutely. That's what I'm using them for--in a 5th wheel to start replacing all of the 12 v fluorescent lights. Just be absolutely sure to connect the red wire to the positive 12 volt lead, and the black wire to ground. (reversing the polarity on LED's destroys them.)

I would say "yes" as long as the LED lights operate on 12 volts. Otherwise I'd say "no".

Electrically there is no problem with any 12 vdc system. I am not to sure about the legality of using them on the road. I would at least have a separate switch for them so you can use them only when you need them. I use them on my atv and love them, lots of light.

That probably wouldn't work. They are designed for DC as you know. But there maybe an AC replacement LED out there somewhere.

Short answer, yes. Just wire it up like how you would a light bulb; make sure to add a resistor, this thing only take 12volts DC only.

I used them on a 12V bike. Being LEDs, I don't think they will work with less then 10V.

These lights are also offered in 110v complete with the ground prong. However for 12v application the thrid wire is not needed. The lights like all LEDs works off of DC current. In 110v a transformer is used to change the AC current to DC current.

Splice them in with your running lights. Unless you want them blinking. I think my review of these might have a bit more detail. Just remember a 12v DC system is just one wire supplying a return path back to power source(usually black) and a 12v wire (any color other than black,or green). Green is a ground. Hope this helps.

I would assume so, but you might want to check the specifications for each to see. Th solar lights will charge much slower than DC power.

Although these lights say 12V DC in the description, there appears to be a bridge rectifier inside them, and they work just fine on 12V AC. I have one connected to an ordinary 12V AC low voltage lighting transformer.

This is an LED kit made specifically for computers, so you would have to modify it and cut the power supply connector and make your own connection to the 12V battery to make it work.

Yes. Wire a standard socket with 12V and that is what this light is for. I wired our home for backup 12V lighting during storms and power out and used regular recessed lighting fixtures.

Assuming your lights are 12 VDC and maximum number of fixtures(lights) do not exceed transformer wattage rating, should work fine.

They will not work on Ac voltage. A rectifier may work. You will get some voltage drop. Depending on how many feet you are running it may not affect it too bad. Won't hurt to try. You may have to add a filter cap too. 12 volt DC supply's are cheap though. I'd just buy one. You don't need a big one. Low current draw with LEDs.
