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. |

Tear one down. If it just uses resistive current limiting, two of them in series will run just fine on 24V. |
