How do you know which version to buy? The AC DC 12V or DC 12V? Replacing Malibu outdoor 20w landscaping lights. Thanks!

It depends on which electric way supply to the bulbs,we suggest you can ask help from some local technical people about this.Generally, the AC DC 12V is more common in use, since AC DC 12V is compatible with most of power supply adapter.

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. 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

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.

They work just fine on 12V AC. I have them in several Malibu-style lights off my pool'sbreaker box transformer and also in my Spa, which is also 12V AC.Hope this helps!

My unit is clearly marked as AC/DC 12V 10 amp. What is implied is that the control would work with either AC or DC 12 volt at a max 10 amp. This is probably a photo control for out door driveway lighting. For low voltage driveway or landscape lighting which runs on 12 volt AC or DC. Haven't tested mine yet but will advise you when I do.

It's like day and night if you compare these with old malibu's. Another word, much better. Remember it is either 4w/7w versus 20w/10w. Yes, I switch to 10w bulb to install more and save energy on same trnsformer. I am no expert in measuring power effectiveness, but keep in mind a 300w transformer can lose some punches over a 220 feet 12/14/16 gauge low-voltage cable(think about cable signal strength from post to your house from your tv/internet provider). If I were you, I'll do 20 of them using 10w bulbs instead. That should be a safe bet. These are really nice and you'll love them.

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like.I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb.If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

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

These lights definitely work fine with 12VDC, and that's what I'd recommend. However, they also have a bridge rectifier built-in, so the DC polarity you supply doesn't matter, and I'd guess they will work with AC as well, although it's possible you'd get some 50/60hz flicker in the light output, and perhaps create more stress on the electronics depending upon how well the built-in regulator handles it.

They do work with AC. Most landscape lighting power supplies are transformers that convert 110V AC to 12V AC... these lights work with 12V AC power.

Output voltage is 12VAC, making it compatible with most low-voltage Ac systems (such as Malibu). Basically, this is a big step-down transformer.

The light output is much better. I, too, replaced old Malibu's with these and I am very happy with the outcome. The lights are much more durable. I actually used fewer lights for the same distance. My only watch-out is to make sure you don not exceed the rated wattage of the transformer with too many lights as the light output from the lights at the end of the run will be dimmer.

Yes, I used 4 w 12 v bulbs in these sockets. Malibu light transformer. GO ><>'
