For output you should be fine, as this is also 20VA and 12VAC, that said, it won't fit in a recessed outlet, it is surface mount compatible and has screw to hold it the outlet for long term plug in use.

I agree with Mrfitit, it won't fit in a recessd box. Otherwise, it should be fine.

I'm using it with a 200+ watt halogen bulb, it dims to a low voltage so I'd assume it would.To my knowledge voltage is the requirement, not wattage, but you should check with Insteon. You can contact them through the Smarthome site.Good luck.

My box did not have 90-240 V and the light had only two wires. I used it with 12v DC system and it works well

Most bi-pin 20w halogens that I have seen are MR11. So you're probably in good shape. It's frustrating that the owner's manual from their own website does not state what kind of bulb this is precisely.

I just plugged the lamp into average wall outlet, Not an electrical expert by any stretch. Just know I plugged it into bathroom wall outlet, didn't blow a fuse and the lamp worked. That's all I needed. I don't know what a 20AMP breaker is. As for fixture, I use a photographer's shell, for lack of a better word, an aluminum or whatever metal wide mouth cone like simple fixture because these fixtures usually have some kind of clamp attached to them for positioning.

I wrote down "T190 watt came with new lamp." I put in a GE heavy duty 300 watt T2.5 bulb type. R7 base. 120 volts. It was from another, practically identical halogen lamp we got several years ago. That other lamp does have a sticker stating 300 watts max. This light you're looking at has a sticker inside the top saying not to use more than 190 watts. That wasn't bright enough for me. I know they burn hot. We do not have it near draperies, and I prefer to not leave either halogen lamp on when we leave the house. But, with 300 watts, it is good light. My older lamp has a click type little dial for low or high. This new one, which we've had since July 30, 2013, has a dial type knob, to select highest range to off. But, I still use the wall switch to really turn it off when I am done in my computer room.

I am replacing the current bulb which draws approximately .9 amps 12V DC. I would guess that the draw would be 0.2 amps or less. By the way these bulbs are bright and seem to be high quality. My application is for the low voltage landscape lights.

power supply reads: input 100-240VAC 1A (a maximum i guess) output 19VDC 2.1A.Actual AC draw is less than 1A guaranteed (if 39.9W out, 100W in, it would have to dissipate 60W of heat, which would render it hotter than a 60W incandescent bulb. Mine was still wrapped in plastic, and was only slightly warm to the touch.)

btw, so dumb that these vendors post bulbs w/o giving voltage or wattage. When we remove the bulbs, we can clearly see voltage and wattage on the base. So we're naturally looking for those characteristics when we buy a replacement. Vendors need to think about the consumers who buy these and what they look for when buying a bulb. An another note: that screw-on base style is for 120VAC bulbs. At least think those are always 120VAC. 12V and 24V don't seem to use this type of base (never saw a srew-in 12 or 24 volt bulb).

Yes 12v, 20 watt. I am very satisfied with these bulbs. They have lasted longer than the previous bulbs I purchased at Home Depot for about 3 times the price

Here are the specs on the label of the adapter that is used to charge the light: Class 2 Power Supply, Model HT72005, Input 120 VAC 60Hz 9W, Output 12VDC 500mA. I wish I knew what all of that means, but I don't, and I hope it helps! If it were me, I'd take all of that alphabet soup down to Radio Shack and let somebody there find a replacement part. I found a few adapters online that come close, and they all cost $7 or less, but you wouldn't want "close" to risk burning out the spotlight.

My lamp, shipped 7-2012, uses 3.24W, 270ma @ 12VDC. You have brought up my only complaint with this item. Because these SMDs are wired as 12 sets of 3 chips in parallel, and each chip should be driven at 20ma max, optimally this board should be configured to draw 240ma, which it does at 11.75VDC. At 12VDC each chip draws 22ma, or 10% over its design specification. Since autos often supply 14V, in some applications the 'bulb' will run hot and not last as long as it should.

It will plug into the same size halogen socket..it does not plug into the light. As long as it is a 7 inch bulb

The box or the bulb itself does not have any wattage rating written. The bulb only gets warm but not hot. Since it uses LEDs, the power drawn should be minimal.

Sorry, I just got back to read my emails. This item is ok if you want to wire your garden area with special wiring for this type of light. I didn't read all the information about it and wanted a plug in to the outlet type. So I am going to eat this one for now. Maybe one day I might wire my whole backyard to have this type of lighting system. Sorry I could not help you more. Good luck.

i currently have recessed lighting that uses a par 30 incadescent bulb, that produces roughly 60watts of light.im looking to convert to a led bulb that produces 30 watts of light. can you supply me with a part # from youre company..thanks

I believe it is for the maximum output based on 265 volts, but am not positive. I have it plugged into 110v and output is near similar to 50w halogen except with cool white it doesn't have the same intensity. I found a formula that measures lumen output: Lighting System Efficacy (Lumens per Watt or LPW) = System Lumen Output ÷ Input Wattage and Watts (W) = Volts (V) x Current in Amperes (A) x Power Factor (PF). It is a good bulb to save on energy without losing too much lumens/light intensity. I will probably be purchasing more down the road. Hope this helped
