can I use it in landscape lighting applications, when using the standard base? Is it that simple, as long as powered through 12v ?

These are not waterproof so they would have to be protected from moisture and yet still get adequate ventilation. Other than that, yes, they fit standard sockets and if wired for 12 Volts will provide very nice lighting. I use mine in a boat and though the environment is harsh by home standards I have no problems with them.

This 12 volt LED light is not environmentally protected. It has No protective enclosure. You would have to privide some additional waterproof glass or plastic enclosure. I used a discarded plastic bottle to protect mine and this was just to use inside a storage shed.

yes as long as you keep it dry. my whole house is on 12 volts and I use the standard bases, just wired 12 volt wiring. these are very bright well worth the money

Yes. Wire a standard socket with 12V and that is what this light is for. I wired our home for backup 12V lighting during storms and power out and used regular recessed lighting fixtures.

Unfortunately - no. Mine failed after fewer than 1000 hours of operation so no longer available as a reference. I do recall that although I purchased these as landscape lights the box said indoor use only. I called the distributor and they told me that they were perfectly fine for outdoor landscape applications provided they were kept cool and dry. Translated labels are rarely a slave to details - this is no exception. Give the distributors a call and they can explain beam angle.

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

Can have it's own or can be added to a series of lights running from a transformer. Make sure the total voltage for all your lights, including this one, matches the total voltage output from your transformer. It comes with a fairly long wire (from what I recall installing over a year ago). I attached those wires to existing landscape lights using outdoor wire-nuts (water resistant) I got from Home depot.

Donald and Richard are correct. You need a 12 volt transformer used for low voltage landscape lighting. Wattage should be at least 20 watts (not "low wattage") plus total wattage of any other lights you want to power with the transformer. Amazon or Lowes has them.

Yes. Our cabin is wired with regular 120v fixtures but connected to our 12v battery system off our solar. Works great. We prefer these bulbs over the cfl 12v bulbs we were using.

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.

This type of product is not really meant for indoor house use, it is an outdoor light suitable for connection to a 12V to 24V battery or the electrical system of a vehicle with one of these two battery voltages in it. However, you can power it from a common laptop power supply brick. The particular model doesn't matter, they're all capable of a voltage within the range this needs and enough current.

This particular model is 120v, it came with a short cord which I easily replaced with a longer one with. The colors are remotely adjusted to specific colors or shade combination. You have to be directly in front of the unit to change the colors with the included remote.I've seen a similar model and design that is 12v only, but the luminance may not be as bright.I use mine as an up lighting source in my back yard.

I'm not sure what you're asking. If you mean "can this be powered from the 12 volt power supplied by an automobile battery?" ... my answer is "maybe." I run mine with the power transformer used for 12 volt landscape lighting ("Malibu Lights"). I BELIEVE that these lights are originally meant to be used on campers and motor-homes, for exterior lighting when parked. That would mean being powered by the vehicle battery.

yes, I bought 2 and am powering them by a 12v low-voltage landscape lighting transformer. Works great.

Low voltage landscape lighting is DC. That's why you use a transformer... it converts the 110 volt AC current into 12 volt DC. I bought an AC lighting fixture and wired it up to my Malibu transformer. It works fine and I have no reason to think it will not last a long time.

Not sure. I just know it will not work on LED lights. If your landscape lights are LED, I would be cautious and make sure it is returnable without too much freight.

If you plan on putting these lights outdoor, you should absolutely leverage your landscape lights if you have them. Its way easier and cheaper than to use the 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. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide. 1/3 the cost of buying the transformers and a timer to control it (or worst, trying to find an outlet for the transformer).

Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. Some LED lights need 12V AC, some will need 12V DC, and some will accept both. 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.

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.

Yes it will plug into a standard outlet. I would not reccomend using it or outdoors. The sun would be much more effective and it isn't built to be used outside. The ballets regulates the power delivery and keeps the wattage at exactly what the bulb calls for. This extends bulb life and efficiency.
