Would this work in the kitchen of my house? I have 2-tube florescent lighting. My house is not 12 volt, but standard 120volt. If not, what works?

This will not work in your house without a 12 volt power supply. I do not know of a 120 volt replacement like this.

I hooked mine up to my regular household voltage----120V. (although yours may be 110, 115 or 120). When connecting it to an existing circuit, make sure the total expected wattage load won't exceed your circuit amperage multiplied by the volts. Example: On a 15 Amp circuit, with 120 volts, I have a capacity of 1800 watts. If I'm running my Waste King at 450 Watts (4.5 Amps) while my standard fridge is powering up at 350 watts , and my toaster or microwave are running at 1100 watts, and my lights are on, I'm likely to flip my breaker. That's why the electrical load of most kitchens today are split over two or more circuits. I hooked mine up to my regular household voltage----120V. (although yours may be 110, 115 or 120).

If the chandelier uses 120-volt wall power, this wire is too thin to be safe. Look up what's recommended for work at wall voltages. If you're unsure, ask an electrician. Your local building code may also have requirements relating to built-in light fixtures.

chuck you can buy a 60w class 2 transformer that dimmable but there big and I usually install then in a cabinet under the sink but what I figured out if use a normal 72 w transformer or a lap top transformer 500millaamps will work fine and install a 12v dimmer and break the load side of the 12v is a cleaner look jerry@starelectricservices.com for more help

They are measuring this in volts here, saying that it can be plugged into a 120 volt outlet. The bulbs are only 7 watts and work fine in any night light or Christmas lights. I've purchased many and they are good lights and will last about a year before you will need to replace, maybe longer if you are very careful not to ever jar them as they tend to get more delicate as the filament ages. Hope this helps.

I am using mine in fixtures in the kitchen. I think they would work in any area you would use a normal 60 watt bulb.

If you're plugging in to a US outlet, it should work - it's merely a conduit, not something like an electric motor that might operate differently. And on other sites it has a crossover of 50=250hz.But I am not an electrician, just a dude who bought the thing to dim a high-wattage chandelier (12 bulbs current @60 watts) that was overheating every other dimming device I could find. For that purpose, it works fine. And I can see no reason why if you are plugging in to a 3 prong US outlet that it wouldn't work, but Amazon has a good return policy, so you'd have the option of testing it.

I'm not 100% sure I understand your question. What this fixture uses are 35 watt, 120 volt halogen bulbs. They have the GU10 base (two metal posts, as opposed to a standard incandescent "screw in" type base). Although 35 watt may sound low power, they put out a lot of light for a small bulb. The tech specs in the Amazon ad says "12 volt", but I think that's a misprint. I have mine wired to standard US 120-volt power.

I don't think so, this unit only work for 12V outcome. So I guess your lights use 120V.

No it will not work with 220v circuit. All standard household lights in U.S. require 120v circuit with a neutral/ground wire.

I do not personally use that model for florescent or appliances, but do use the one for standard lights and it has worked without flaw. Easy to program and conduct and overrides. I would think your model would work without flaw.

I think yes. I used them in a regular 110 volt fixture I bought from lowes. But you MUST wire the fixture to 12 volt only! Do not use regular 110volt house electric. These bulbs are pretty bright.

Needs to be wired into 120 Volt circuit. Ours is in a half bath with two 100 watt bulbs (not supplied.) Works fine so far.

Agree-ask the manufacturer. I used it in the kitchen and it works perfectly.

12volt led bulbs can be used inside anywhere the line voltage is 12 volts. 12 volt bulbs should never be used on household (110 volt in US) circuits.

This device is built to a "NEMA-15" standard, which is a 115/120 volt device rated for 15 Amps maximum. While it may have acceptable insulating materials and distances internally (or may NOT) there is also the consideration of the illuminating device and possibly dropping resistor inside. I would not trust it as manufactured on 220 Volts. I have another made by GE that has no indicating light, and it is clearly marked 120 Volts. In either case, I would err on the side of caution.

Absolutely NOT!! This light is a 12 volt DC unit. Household voltage is 115-130 volts and would fry this light resulting in a lot of smoke and crackles. Unless you have a 12 volt power supply that will rectify or convert the household voltage to 12 volt DC.
