Can this light be used with 12 volt landscape transformer and if not, is their a similar light that can?

This one is designed to be used with 120 volts. But there is one that is a dedicated 12 volt light with the same housing

Get a light made for 12v, there are several around. To hack this light to work on 12v, remember LED chips don't run at a voltage, they run at a specific current at roughly a particular voltage. This light would want specifically 1.2A at about 24 volts. The 10 watt lights work the same way, but at 0.8 amp curret at around 12v. If you drove them at a constant voltage, current would be out of control and they would either underperform or overheat.

If this is the 12v version then as long as the total current is within the range of your transformer, it should work. I don't recommend it though, as these draw more current than typical landscape lights.If it is the 120V version, no, it cannot be used.

No. Even if you take it apart and remove the 120V power supply inside I think the LED itself needs 24V. I tried to do as you suggest and by pass the internal power supply and could not light the LED witha 12V power supply.

No, but they do have a 12v DC model you can buy: http://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers-Waterpoof-Security-Floodlight-3701W-12V/dp/B005MLXAF4/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1357409991&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=led+wholesalers+12v+flood

No, but they do have a 12v DC model you can buy:LEDwholesalers 10.5 Watt LED Waterpoof Outdoor Security Floodlight 10-30 Volt DC, FL-10W

I don't think it will work Dc but I have two wired up 110 Ac outdoor landscape and they are working great after over a year.

Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. Some LED lights need 12V AC, some will need 12V DC, and some will accept both. LED strip lights, for example, requires 12V DC. If you need 12V DC, 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

You will need a 12 volt transformer to provide power for the light. I bought a Moonrays transformer. The 8 watt light will be plenty light for a landscape sign. We bought 6 of these to project on the house and six four watt lights to shine up in trees. Your transformer needs to have enough wattage to cover the power demand of the sum of the lights.

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.

Steve Horvath asked the question specifically about the 12VDC version of the light. LED Wholesalers sells a 12VDC, and a 120VAC version of the light. As long as your low voltage landscape lighting system can supply 12 volts DC (not AC), and can supply at least 10 watts of power, then yes this light will work fine.If, however, your low voltage system provides AC power instead of DC... then no.If your low voltage lighting system is 12 volts DC, make certain that you buy the 12VDC version of the light.

I must reconsider my answer after looking at this a little closer. The lights do require 12vDC and not AC. There is such an adapter sold elsewhere on Amazon that can power this string. I would have to say that you probably cannot use this transformer.

Yes...there are different size transformers...but with any low volt or line volt lighting simply take the total wattage of the lighting strip..(60ft.) say maybe 200 watt....and divide by your voltage which I believe is 12v. on these...this would be 16.66 amps.....so make sure the wire you run from the transformer is rated at least 20 amps.....(#12 wire) This should work for you and be safe.....Make sure your transformer wattage output is equal to or less than your strip light wattage.

Mudder is selling 12 volt lights, not complete kits. No transformer is included. Search amazon.com for Malibu Landscape Transformer and Malibu Landscape Wiring for the rest of what's needed.

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)

Absolutely leverage your landscape lights if you have them. Its way easier and cheaper than to use your standard 120V transformer. 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: 72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DCThere's also a YouTube video on how to use it, although it's fairly self-explanatory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzarYlOnPc

I used a 12 volt 1 amp or greater DC transformer from the Goodwill store ($1.99); works well. LEDs are polarized so you have to get the + and - side correct or it won't work.9 Volts will also work; must be DC.

i thought the same that 12-110-120 would work on either 12V or on 120 we need these for our properties in Belize that are all high volt 110 not landscape lights running on 12V after trying many this is the only one that i have found works on 110V if you find other please let me know http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A21BXVC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, you can. These lights come with their own transformer, just connect to a 110 volt source, they work great!!

The Light is rated for 8 to 14 volt system. I had no problem wiring this light to my transformer that steps down 115 volts to 10 volts.

The light operates on a standard 120 volt outlet but has a transformer, which I assume reduces the voltage to 12 volt.

I used the same transformer that was powering my white 12V light. It works great!

Yes, use this for outdoor low voltage landscape light fixture. It is as good as the one sale for $5.00 something per bulb in either Home-deport or Lowe locally
