OT: 12v DC Christmas Lights??

Dec 04, 2005 7 Replies

Folks,



Not really on topic, but there's a bit of lack of such places to ask...



Has anyone ever seen christmas-tree lights that operate on 12 or 24v DC for sale in Australia? All I have seen are either 240v AC or 24v AC. Havent seen any DC units. I must ahve looked at about 15 different brands so far, but nothing operating in DC.



I wondered if anyone had seen such a beast for sale online? Getting an AC source is going to be too cost-prohibitive for what I want.



Cheers,

**Any of the LED Christmas lights (and there are lots of them) will do the job. Even better, the colours are more pure and blues much brighter. They last pretty much forever too.

** Hey man - have I got news for YOU !!!

Electric light bulbs work on DC and on AC !!!!!!!!!!!

Way cool - eh ??????

AC poower supplies are cheaper to manufacture than DC ones and lamps don't care if it's AC or DC.

24V lamps should work fine off 24V DC.

Thomas Edison will back you up , however Westinghouse wouldnt like it ......

But transformers don't, Phil. If he can get lights without transformers he's OK
