What is the proper way to label/mark moveable electrical fixtures for 12VDC use. We are using several unmodified 110VAC rated floor lamps with 12VDC ES27 LED bulbs and want to warn regarding not plugging into a standard wall socket. Also, is it actually illegal to retain the standard AC plug? Glen Lewis

cut it off and use something else, I don't know if it is illegal, but it should be common sense that you shouldn't put a standard AC plug on anything that doesn't use standard mains voltage -Lasse

Ah, you never disappoint with your sharp witty repartee. It's so easy to push your buttons, it hardly even makes it worthwhile.

Yawn. I've seen original, brass based lamps in cars that were over

20 years old that still made good contact. I've seen tin plated bases that were corroded so bad that the socket needed replacement.

Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.
