Advertized as 12VDC, but image shows 110 AC socket. Is it 110 AC with a internal transformer to 12 VDC? Can it be internally bypassed to run on 12VDC?

Mine plugs into 110. Don't know about running on 12v. This one maybe a newer model than mine as mine is at least a year old.

LUCKY YOU... I am an electronics technician... so I got out my screwdriver and my digital voltmeter and found the answer for you. This unit I have is an X2 model. I believe there is another model that is an older version that might still be sold that DOES use an actual 12 volt power adaptor that plugs 12 volts into the unit. My unit plugs directly to 110 ac with a little ac cord that is UNPLUGGABLE from the back of the unit. I used a small Phillips to open up the case... and... The little power supply inside the unit is on it's OWN LITTLE pc board and is easily removed HOWEVER it puts out 3 different voltages, none of them are 12 volts. It puts out 3.3V, 16V. and 22V. This little unit is about the size of a standard paperback book.. a little smaller. Keep in mind, you could purchase a small 12v to 110 volt converter that plugs into your cigarette lighter if you want to power this off of 12 volts. Be sure to read my other reviews about this unit, as it has some quirks such as OTHER REMOTE controls such as your TV remote may cause UNDESIRED operation. for example, say you push the VOLUME UP button to turn up the volume on your TV. When you press the button to do that.... the channel may change or other things on THIS UNIT. etc etc.

You would need the AC to 12 volt DC adapter. It can't be used with a normal 120 or 240 volt AC outlet on its own.

Title is misleading. These units are manufactured with various DC and AC voltage ratings to OPERATE THE SWTICH; the one here RUNS on 12V DC and this power is used to CLOSE THE SWITCH when instructed by the timer; HOWEVER, the switch can be wired into any LOAD equivalent to 120V 16 amps (DC or AC). The confusing thing about the description of this switch is that the power that RUNS the switch has NOTHING to do with what you can wire into the switch, the 12V DC input simply CLOSES THE SWITCH but does NOT go through the switch.

It has a 125v power cord, could be used on 110v socket directly. It works for me.

Hello, I have purchased 3 of these for camping and they are 12V DC. That is just a typo in the description. They work great!

Hi. The picture has a mistake. I bought it to JOL CONNECTION and it is 20v. Regards.

It runs directly on AC current, and is not rechargeable, if that is what you were thinking. It is for 110 to 125 volt power only, not 220 volts. At least the USA version sold here... maybe somebody somewhere sells versions for the voltages in other countries.

Not sure, I don't have the instructions in front of me. It works on either 120AC or 12 volt DC. I have it in my toy hauler and love it.

No, it is for 12-volt direct current only. Plugging it in to an AC outlet would burn it up.

I'm looking at the box and it only says that it's good for 12 volt cigarette socket. The only problem I have is the USB port is on the the bottom. It defines itself as a 4 port DC socket. Sorry it took me so long to get back with a reply.

I haven't try it w/12VDC but... it does have the connector for DC on the side.

my lamp box was marked dc-12v you can try yours on 12 volts if it lights you are good .bet it,s what you think it is 85 to 265 ac . hope this helps. greg

You're right, the listing title is reversed. It is 12v DC to 110v AC. Some buyers commented that it wouldn't fit into their power ports on cars, but it did fit fine in my Ford F150 Lariat pickup; I would think the size is universal, though it was tight and had to be pushed in hard. By the way, it works great, so far.

Out of the box it is only 12 volt DC. You need to purchase an adapter to connect to 120 volt AC.

Yes 12V WILL damage it, as it is rated for 5.2 volts DC. But avoid this unit, and seek another manufacturer....as you should note that along with my review, others have experienced the same failure in that it works for about 2-3 months and then goes into a total fail and you end up with a color bar generator....and NO picture. Avoid this garbage.

can I assume you want to know if its 120 or 240 switchable? The units comes with its own AC to DC converter on the plug. The transformer says 100-240 volts AC at 50-60Hz input, and the unit takes 42volts DC output it's converted too. So Yes it can use 100-240 volts AC however your receptacle must be able to fit the units plug for 240VAC mine uses 120 and it fits perfectly. if your receptacle is the same as a 120VAC receptacle, even it its wired for 240VAC, then your good.Understand the power cord has its own voltage converter built into it.BTW the picture quality is Super Fantastic. much better than I had assumed it could do. can I assume you want to know if its 120 or 240 switchable?

I use these sockets to make 12 volt exterior lights. The wire that comes on these sockets is very thin. I would not try to run 110 volts thru them. I hope this helps.
