Is this suitable for powering a picture light (two 20-watt halogen bulbs)? What are the dimensions? I need to plug it into a recessed outlet box. The specs on the original are "Output: 12VAC 1670mA 20VA"

For output you should be fine, as this is also 20VA and 12VAC, that said, it won't fit in a recessed outlet, it is surface mount compatible and has screw to hold it the outlet for long term plug in use.

Here are the specs on the label of the adapter that is used to charge the light: Class 2 Power Supply, Model HT72005, Input 120 VAC 60Hz 9W, Output 12VDC 500mA. I wish I knew what all of that means, but I don't, and I hope it helps! If it were me, I'd take all of that alphabet soup down to Radio Shack and let somebody there find a replacement part. I found a few adapters online that come close, and they all cost $7 or less, but you wouldn't want "close" to risk burning out the spotlight.

Yes....it is designed to connect to landscape-lighting wire which comes from a transformer...the bulb needs 12v power and would not work if you plug it directly into a regular outlet.

I believe if you have a lamp with 220V the circuit should manage the amount of power going thru the bulb itself. But I can be wrong. Might be better to check with manufacturer.

As long as it physically fits in your fixture, I don't see why not? As mentioned in other responses you will have to deal with our yankee plugs. The response saying that the "ampage" [sic] is too low, seems to have little basis: what you need to worry about is that you stay within the power rating of the transformer. If you are looking at this transformer, I assume your "picture lights" have 12 volt bulbs with a rating less than 75 watts. The fixtures I replaced transformers in have 3 20W 12V bulbs....

Let's see, 20x10w = 200w; the transformers are rated 150 w. If these were real transformers, there would be no issue. BUT ! These are "electronic" transformers; I am not sure how they work (or why !) but they seem to be very sensitive to being matched capacity to load. Thus, you might be better off with 2 x 100w transformers. Note too, that these are sold as "12v" transformers; the reality is they are 11 volts +/- , I think, 10%. 9.6 volts is " in spec" ! Halogen lamps are designed for 12-14 volts, 11 volts results in noticeably dim lights.

This bulb has a single contact on the bottom for + and the side connects to the -. It also draws 1.44 watts so around .11 amps. It is a 12 volt bulb also. I surmise that it should work, but I cannot find the specs on your particular bulb.

Jon, I may have one available. It is marked as 12 VDC Output @ 500 mA. If you send a blank e-mail to Robert.applegate@comcast.net, I will send back a photo. My light burned up and was discarded.

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 would say no, it will not work with 120 Volt AC current in your house. Anything designed for 12 V will probably burn out when exposed to 120 or 240 Volt household current. The LED's and the insulation on the wiring is just not designed to handle that sort of voltage. That said, these bulbs are fantastic with 12 V DC current (like you find in your car, boat, or RV). It is extremely bright and well made. I use mine as a lamp/lantern with a solar powered portable power pack that I built in a suitcase. Being able to use standard light bulb fixtures with 12 V DC is great.

The Plug is about 4 or 5 ft. from the lamp, I am not sure how large your recessed outlet is, I have it plugged into a terminal strip. It should fit a standard outlet. The lamp is great, looks fine and illuminates my picture wonderfully.

Well the box says it's light emitter is 3*1W LED and its power supply/input is 85V-260V but if it like me and don't know what that means. I'll say this it fits the standard light fixtures in the USA. I put mine in a ceiling fan. It's bright and spins the colors amazingly. Hope this helps sorry for delayed answers don't always have internet access at my house. :o)

If the Halogen Bulb works in a standard Incandescent Fixture (120V) it should work fine.

Suggest you email seller...we retro'd our fluorescent fixtures but they were all 12 VOLT. I am a big fan of LED's and for the $$$ savngs and the clean lite. I figure as more people adopt the LED their power bills will drop & the power companies will have to raise rates to make up the difference

There are no specs on the switch or package. These look like a typical alarm type of switch, not meant for much current. It would be all right if you are doing a low voltage (25 volts or less) DIY because of the small contacts and exposed terminals. If you are using a commercial 120 volt light, check the power needed and somehow shield the terminals from people touching them or use the switch as a low voltage control for the 120 volt at the light.

Yes, works perfectly. Go with the 15 Watt and use a cover to mellow out the individual "hot spots" of light. This is far and away better than a 12V CFL.

Yes, there should be a 12 v transformer on your lighting strip which converts the 110 into 12 v. What kind of bulbs are you replacing these with and what do they say on them?
