WARM WHITE 12-LED ASSEMBLY, 12V AC OR DC

great for outdoor lighting

We wanted to add outdoor lighting in our backyard, but didn't like any of the commercial 12V lighting units, so we made our own, based on these LEDs. They use about 150mA at 12V (so about 2 Watts) and are very bright (you can't look directly at them). They work great with Home Depot's Malibu 12V AC transformers. Note that despite being LEDs, they work with both 12V DC and AC power supplies. Normally LEDs are DC items with a strict connection polarity, but obviously the circuit these LEDs are built around adapt to whatever you throw at them. A quick test with a 9V battery will turn them on regardless of polarity. Very nice LEDs...good price too. Easy to recess into a wooden holder with a 1 1/4" wood spade bit. Electrical connections are nice and long with easy access.
