Can this unit be adapted for 12 volt DC use?

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.

I accidentally bought this fixture, meaning to get a 12 VDC one, so i took the four screws off the back and cut the transformer out, exposing red and black wires that hook up directly to the 12 VDC battery, and the light works like a charm, no issues what soever. Hope this helps.

Yes, you will need reconfigure the light and it will require 20 watts dc power. Or you can just get a power inverter.

Truthfully, I have not used it with 12V DC but clearly I don't see a reason why will it not work as all it is doing is relaying the signal. Question is whether it can stay awake with 12 volt or not. I am not sure but I am certain it will not cause any damage to the unit by you trying 12 volt input. Hope this helps...

No, it is 12V DC only. You could buy a separate power convertor if you really need 110V AC.

Yes it is a safe bet this unit is going to need power to do it's magic. So if you can shoot 12V dc out of your fingertips, you're all set. If not, the adapter will the way to go.

Sure....with a 120 volt to 12 volt DC power converter. It is a digital unit, so power use (watts) should be very low. But check the actual amp draw prior to buying converter unit.

I have a central switch that provides 12 V DC. This is the only it'll work.

I'd say yes. It has a 120 volt transformer for DC input and also it will run on SIX batteries (the large D size). I have been using it in my camper for 3 years. Nice unit.

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.

Out of the box it is only 12 volt DC. You need to purchase an adapter to connect to 120 volt AC.

Depends on your requirements. It will certainly provide 12VDC. As to whether it has the current capacity to meet your needs will take a little math.

any 12 volt dc current is usable, weather it is from a battery or a transformer pack it does not know the difference - be careful to get the polarity correct...

Yes, you just need to purchase a plug in transformer to convert the 120v ac to 12v dc. 500ma should be sufficient

No. There is an on-board voltage regulator but it require DC at between 7 and 12 volts.

No. The unit works on 120 Volts Ac. If you want to run it off 12 Volt DC , you would need to purchase a DC to AC Inverter that converts 12 Volt DC ( from a battery) to 120 Volts AC. There are much cheaper ways to do this.. Just look for color LEDs that operate on 12 Volt DC... Hope this information Helps.

This unit runs of DC power and came with a 110V adaptor. The adaptor only runs off of 110v. Look for a 220V adaptor that will fit the unit and provide 12V DC.

Yes, it requires 12 DC to operate. I have it connected to the 12 volt source through one of my console switches.

I would think it would not be a problem, anything that requires a 12 volt dc power supply should work as long as it doesn't require more than 10 amps
