Convert Halogen fitting to LED

[RF Lighting]

If you care to scroll down that eBay listing there are other DC supplies there with shrouded terminals.

Don’t use a tens of kHz supply on lamps designed for 50/60Hz then complain they don’t last.

If I scroll down that listing there are also dishwasher tablets. What’s your point?

The product you linked to is totally unsafe and unsuitable for what the OP requires, but you’d rather continue to bleat on and on with your ridiculous fantasies rather than admit that LED lamps are not polarity sensitive and will work perfectly well when supplied from an AC electronic transformer.

So why do they say 50/60Hz on them?

They don’t. You can’t just make stuff up.

What is the output frequency of the electronic transformer the OP is proposing to use?

 

[winston1]

They don’t.

Many do.

What is the output frequency of the electronic transformer the OP is proposing to use?

Tens of kHz typically.

 

[DetlefSchmitz]

Tens of kHz typically.

So you have no idea?

Here is an example DC or AC50/60 Hz. No mention of tens of kHz.

You said these lamps say 50/60Hz on them. They do not, so you are either wrong or a liar. Which is it?

Tens of kHz typically.

So you have no idea.

 

[winston1]

So you have no idea?

Yes I do. As I said tens of kHz typically. You obviously have no idea how switch mode power supplies work. The output frequency and mark space ratio will vary according to the loading and the input voltage.

If my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bicycle.

By the logic you are using here, if one type of lamp requires a 50/60Hz supply, a completely different one must also require the same, so all the lamps in the world must only be used with a 12V supply because that is what this very particular lamp requires?

Neither. Don't go round calling people liars just because you are ignorant of he facts.

See my post above. Link repeated below.

I’ll ask you again. What is the output frequency of the electronic transformer the OP is proposing to use? Not typical anything. The specific figure.

The OPs lamps do not specificy an input frequency. You said they do, so you are either wrong or lying. Which is it?

 

[RF Lighting]

This completely different from the lamp we are discussing can operate on a high frequency supply, so by your logic so can the OPs right?

[winston1]

They don't even specify whether they are AC or DC. As LEDs are DC devices one can only guess.

Alternatives in that listing do say AC/DC but not frequency.

Yes I do. As I said tens of kHz typically. You obviously have no idea how switch mode power supplies work. The output frequency and mark space ratio will vary according to the loading and the input voltage.

So according to your philosophy, switched mode power supplies do not have smoothing capacitors on their outputs? To basically provide dc? Interesting...
