I have Malibu deck lights (7 watt bulbs) installed as celling lights around my house and deck. The bulbs got so hot they melted thru the plastic light housing and were scorching the wood behind. This is a low voltage 12V AC system, UL approved (not what they used to be).
To fix this, I used 3 LEDs per lamp (with rectifier inline) I was able to replace the super hot bulbs with home made circuit cards and LEDs.
Now I've got that "moonlight" color with lights that equal what I had without the heat; everyone asks "what kind of lights are those?".
Just another practical use for LEDs.
Anyone else got 12V lighting system they haven't inspected since installation?
Got real good insurance?
