can this lamp use a 12v ac supply?

Yes they can. I have 4 of them back lighting a waterfall and they have been working great for the past 3 months with no issues. I have them connected to my 12v landscape transformer.

No. It requires 12V DC power source (battery for example) or adapter converting 110V AC to 12V DC.

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.

YES, There is a small bridge rectifier in the center so it will use 12dc or ac and if running on dc polarity does not mater. This is true for all of these lamps unless they specify DC only. I have this lamp and have run it on both dc and ac. It pulls ~4 watts.

Sorry, I have no idea if it is compatible with your electricity there. Contact the manufacturer. These lamps are really attractive and I have many compliments on them. Good luck!

I must reconsider my answer after looking at this a little closer. The lights do require 12vDC and not AC. There is such an adapter sold elsewhere on Amazon that can power this string. I would have to say that you probably cannot use this transformer.

Yes, you just need to purchase a plug in transformer to convert the 120v ac to 12v dc. 500ma should be sufficient

I haven't tested it, but I don't see why not. It's just a remote on/off switch. As far as I know, a switch that does 12v will also do 6v. Quote from the Internet: "The switch doesn't care (generally) what the voltage is (within reason)." - Danny in CO

No. These operate on 120V AC. You'd have to have a transformer/converter for LED lights to run them on a 12V DC circuit. Why not just run line voltage to these lights?

This LED lamp is rated at 1.44W. Your adapter, 110v to 12v would need a minimum 2W per lamp. This translates to 16.7 MA per lamp

I would think it is possible. Ensure the pipe for plumbing is the correct size, secure, and supply 110v. The lamp is on and ready as soon as you turn the unit on.

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.

Yes it can be used with any 12 V source of power. But however it is not bright enough for what I needed

Don't know but... you could use an inverter attached to the 12V source to power the exisiting AC charger.

No, just plug it into an outlet you would plug a lamp into; assuming you live in the U.S. I cannot vouch for other countries, I am not familiar with their voltages.

Yes, same as Malibu or automotive lamps and must be 12 volts for proper lighting. Will work at slightly less than 12 volts, but would not recommend. Last for ever in out door lighting.

no my friend,this lamp is not operated by bateries,justo for electric current.

My lamp, shipped 7-2012, uses 3.24W, 270ma @ 12VDC. You have brought up my only complaint with this item. Because these SMDs are wired as 12 sets of 3 chips in parallel, and each chip should be driven at 20ma max, optimally this board should be configured to draw 240ma, which it does at 11.75VDC. At 12VDC each chip draws 22ma, or 10% over its design specification. Since autos often supply 14V, in some applications the 'bulb' will run hot and not last as long as it should.
