Running MR16 LED lights on DC

Oct 08, 2011 3 Replies

Most suppliers seem to specify 12 vold AC. Wikipedia says they will run on DC, but with reduced life. Anyone know *how* reduced?


I wouldn't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. Care to share the reference (I couldn't find it)?

On the Wiki MR16 page under the heading "Variations"

And thanks to the OP for raising the subject.

Thanks for that. It's bullshit. Actually, the article as a whole is rather poor.
