Can this transformer be used to power 4 of these 3 watt 12vac bulbs which will be drawing a total of approx 12 watts? :MudderÂ® 2pcs AC12V 3W G9 3014

Its a 60W max transformer so I wouldn't think there would be a problem with 12 watts.

it is a 60 watt transformer 4 bulbs x 3watts equals 12 watts total, so it should be fine.

I really don't know, but I would think it should work since I use it to power three 20-watt 12V AC bulbs. You are talking about using a total of only 12 watts, while my installation uses a total of 60 watts. Therefore, I'm pretty sure this transformer would easily handle your four 3-watt bulbs--as well as up to 16 more of them.

I'am not really sure. I only have 2 lights and it seems to work ok. It was alot smaller then the one I replaced so I was kind of worried it would not work, but so far it's working.

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'm a master electrician The answer Is It will Not work for incandescent a incandescent bulb does not require a transformer

I can't answer your question because I do not know . I am using the transformer on a 35W halogen bulb with good results. Marvin Wasserman

Sounds like you're trying to use them in a motor home. The input/output specs aren't listed on the fixture so the transformer requirements you'd need are unknown. I've never seen an output this bright coming from a 12 volt source. Good luck.

I see no reason that wouldn't work. One end of the lights have a coax connector that plugs into a standard 12V adapter. The other end has two wires for connecting to another string. The second string would require removing the connector and connecting the wires to the first string. Each string will take about 20W so you have plenty of power for up to 10 strings. I would recommend soldering the wires, but that is not absolutely necessary if you make a good connection. One question - does that transformer put out AC or DC? The lights require DC.

Not certain but probably. I'm guessing the transformer that it requires is 40-50wattt, I'm sure 12v/5A is plenty good.

If you have an existing source of 12 volts (AC or DC) that can supply the required current then it should work fine. I connected mine to the door bell transformer. When I measured the voltage with the Westek connected it was a bit high (over 16 volts) which would reduce the life of the bulbs, so I connected a resistor in the line to drop the voltage to near 12 volts and it has been working fine since then. When the bulbs do burn out I will replace the resistor with a diode and swap the bulbs out with automotive LEDs which will fit the socket fine and use less power. Until then the bulbs are working fine. If you have an existing source of 12 volts (AC or DC) that can supply the required current then it should work fine.

Short ans. NO The literature says it draws 18 amps at 12v. That works out to just over 200 watts or less than power to supply a 300 watt light bulb. The 2 amps is way to small a capacity

I have mine working on a landscape lighting transformer with output rate 12V AC, and they work fine. After several months, I've had none fail.

If their maximum combined wattage consumption doesn't exceed the capacity of the transformer you should be okay; though you should know that most transformers recommend that you buy one that has a capacity of 1/3 to 1/2 more than the maximum draw.

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)

You need a 12v transformer. Mine are direct wired transformers that I have up to four lights wired to.

If total wattage of the bulbs doesn't exceed that of the transformer, you can.
