This is listed as DC, will this not work in a standard 120 house lamp?

No, will this not work in a standard 120 house lamp. It will work with a nine volt battery - I rigged up a nice battery powered lamp for power outages.

this will work in any standard ac 120volt fixture as long as the fixture is wired for 12 volts. I have installed this and other led bulbs at the Bamboo Village Hawaii Learning Center development and am happy to say that this technology lights bright and decreases load requirements significantly. Therefore I will be demonstrating this as my choice for solar solutions to my visitors.

I would say no, it will not work with 120 Volt AC current in your house. Anything designed for 12 V will probably burn out when exposed to 120 or 240 Volt household current. The LED's and the insulation on the wiring is just not designed to handle that sort of voltage. That said, these bulbs are fantastic with 12 V DC current (like you find in your car, boat, or RV). It is extremely bright and well made. I use mine as a lamp/lantern with a solar powered portable power pack that I built in a suitcase. Being able to use standard light bulb fixtures with 12 V DC is great.

this product is 12 volts DC, no it will not work in a household light fixture

This unit which is excellent as far as light produced per watt comes in two versions, 120 Volt AC and 12 Volt DC. I have no experience with the 120V ac but I like the brightness of the 12 Volt DC unit. They are NOT interchangeable.

Since DC home power is no longer available, houses have 120v peak to peak or 110v rms. This bulb seems to work fine on housepower.

I am currently using it for a set of 3 25W halogen bulbs. I'm not sure where the low voltage part comes into play, unless it's referring to the switch. Low voltage is usually 24V or less, and this plugs into a standard 120V outlet and looks just like a basic 2 prong indoor extension cord. So the short answer is: yes, it should work for your application.

The unit is rated @ 120 V 500W; I see no reason why it would not work with any led light with a standard base rated for 110-120 V

I doubt it. Better to put a dimmer AFTER the converter block. That is how I run my LED lights, and it works flawlessly *PROVIDED YOU HAVE DIMMABLE LED LIGHTS*. Mine are remote-controlled 16' Cool White CREE strings, and they work flawlessly when dimmed *AFTER* the converter. The power OUT lines are connected to the dimmer unit, and the dimmer unit is connected to the LED string leads. I wouldn't try to put a dimmer on the 120V side, but that's just me.

I believe these bulbs are good for 12 volt ac or dc, not sure where they came up with the 110 volt. I personally used them for some overhead elevator lights which were 12 volts ac without any problems.

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.

The base is a standard Edison base...fits any standard light fixture...IF you install it in a 120 volt fixture, then you have just FRIED this bulb....if it is the same one I bought, it is 12 volt only !!! If you want to know if you can use a 120 socket being fed 12 volts, then yes you can.Remember that 12 volt normally runs alot higher amperage, but the LED 's require alot less, and wire accordingly...rsbhunter

I don't know what kind of light you have in mind, but the typical household light switch for lighting circuits is rated at equal, if not less amps, usually 15-20 amps. Unless you are using it for some higher output lamp, it should work fine. Remember, watts divided by volts equals amps. For instance, if you are operating a 75 watt bulb under a 120 volt circuit, you would determine the amps as 75/120 = .625 amps. If you are operating more than one bulb, be sure to add up all of the bulb wattages before you do the math. This switch is rated at 20 amps, so don't go over the rated amperage. The screw portion of the switch is right at 7/16 in. Be careful and good luck.

You would have to check with the manufacture co. I would only use this bulb with 12V DC. It says AC 12V, but I do not know of a source for 12V AC current. Hope that helps.

I can't answer that because each bulb only lasted a couple of hours. The 130 volt is NOT working as indicated, interchangeably with the 120.

I couldn't get this to work on any lamp in my house. I tried it on two nightstand lamps, and a living room end table lamp that is three-way, and a floor standing lamp, no luck. I think the key is that it needs to be an older style (or maybe higher quality) that has an all metal bulb socket (not ceramic), but that's just a guess.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but I have these lights wired to my household (120 volts?). My standard household wiring uses 14/2 wiring (14 guage with 2 conductors and 1 ground). I spliced my lamp with an outdoor extension cord that I repurposed from Xmas decorations. I then plug this into an outdoor electrical outlet. I have suffered no problems whatsoever.

I replaced a 12V/5W krypton incandescant "MR8" size lamp with it. Worked great. Runs cooler, was brighter. ("MR8" is a standard bulb size for this type of lamp_ Maybe the color wheel motor will last longer now. It's in the Xmas ornament and stored away. I did find the bad one I took out, still on the workbench (which it replaced nicely): That measures 2.5 cm diameter at top (just under 1"), and height is ~2.6cm(1") from top of glass to bottom of glass (not counting the pins)

The light bulb needs to be 120V not 12V to use this bulb, it also needs to be approx br40 size in order for this bulb to fit.

The packaging and bulb states 120V @ 15 watts. I think the higher voltage would cause this bulb to self destruct and possibly cause harm if the glass shatters. Buy an inexpensive clamp on light fixture at any home improvement store. It will serve the purpose and be safe to use with the low voltage that this bulb uses.
