Convert 24AC to 12VAC/DC 1.5A
<< < (4/4)
connectTek:
Either AC or DC
Garden lights 24AC installed, Large property.
GU5.3 LED Globes 12VAC 10W  but I have tested one on DC , no problems.
Customer wants to use this particular Globe as he has lots of them in storage.
NiHaoMike:
Tear one down. If it just uses resistive current limiting, two of them in series will run just fine on 24V.

I doubt it will work, the common circuit is a switched mode regulator and even if it does, it's a bad idea, because someone might change one of the lamps later on.

If he's replacing them all, then it would be cheaper to just replace the 24VAC transformer, with a 12VAC one, than faffing around with converting 24VAC to 12V.
