    DIYer has a lamp wiring question

    Hi Richard, I called the place that sold me the adapter. Everything is OK. The guy tested his own bulb and found that it also ran hot. He also tested the power the bulb was drawing from the wall, and it was 6.7 watts. Pretty close to the bulb rating. Now I'll just have to buy lower wattage...

    I'll try doubling the wire, but I'm not sure there is enough room in the slot to accommodate a doubled wire. I'll call the seller tomorrow and see what they say. The lamp is very functional, and I want to keep it. These are minor setbacks. Thanks, Tamara

    DIYer has a lamp wiring question

    I checked the specs on the adapter, and they are as advertised. The output is 12 VDC, and there is no adjustment possible. I’m attaching its spec sheet. I have another question. When I pulled the plug from the wall to check the specs on the adapter, one of the wires pulled loose. The connector...

    The bulbs are LED. You can search for the specs by entering: "feit bulb bpexn/930ca" into the search bar. The bulbs are so bright that I had to remove one, and even then the remaining light is bright. It almost hurts my eye. Do you think the bulb is wacky or is something wrong with my wiring? I...

    Hi Richard, I finally rewired the lamp yesterday, and it turned out to be very easy. But here's the strange thing. The LED bulb is as hot as my halogen bulb. How is this possible? Do you think there is a problem with the rewiring? Tamara

    Hi Richard, I hope this will be the last time I bother you with a question. But I want to make sure I understand what you say here: “If Feit state that the bulbs can use ac or dc then you can use either an ac or a dc supply at 12V and the internal circuitry of the bulb will provide the correct...

    DIYer has a lamp wiring question

    Hi Richard, I understand everything you wrote, but I still have a question. Can I pop a 12-volt bulb into my lamp to test whether my lamp functions at both voltages? My thought is that my lamp may have an internal transformer. If the bulb doesn't light, that gives me my answer. I just want to...

    Hi Richard, Feit says the bulb is both AC/DC. It also comes with an internal LED driver. Apparently, most LED bulbs come with drivers and don’t need transformers. Thus while feit stocks halogen transformers, I’d have to look elsewhere for an LED driver. I guess drivers are so hard to find...

    Thanks, Richard, for the information. I'll Feit on Monday.

    Can someone please supply the specs for the kind of LED driver I need. I get conflicting information about what I need. I'm even told I don't need a driver but a transformer. Thanks, Tamara

    I can get the bulb as a single. I'll be going to Home Depot to look into the bulb and a transformer. Thanks

    DIYer has a lamp wiring question

    Hi Richard, That's strange. The 5000K is offered as a single, but the same bulb at 3000K is offered only in a six-pack. I'll call the company tomorrow and see what my options are and how much the six-pack costs. The reason I'm a bit wary of using the LED is that, in my experience, they are...
