So I found 110 brand new Philips 7MR16/F36 3000 DIM AF HO lamps at a thrift store today and had to buy them for the price they were asking...
7w, 40w-eq. LED MR-16s
Anyone got any crazy ideas for me?
Can these LED retrofits be wired in series of 10 to create 120v circuits like traditional MR-16s or will that mess with the internal electronics?
They are rated for 12v AC, will running them off of 12V DC severely shorten their life? Just playing around I was able to use a DMX Decoder designed for LED tape/strip to power and dim one of the lamps, but I'm not sure if this would be recommended... would make for a couple of really awesome pixel mapped 20-Lite blinders, with one of those 24ch decoders and a beefy power supply in the case.
Might just sell them too... who knows!
