What do I need in order to hook these up and use them in my yard as flood lights?

I'm not really sure,as they are made for a 12v care battery. I'm sure there is something that can convert the over to AC . Maybe ask an electrician

I have them running off a 12 VDC battery in a vehicle, which is around 13.8 volts DC. If you use a 12 volt DC power supply it will work. MAke sure the output current of the power supply is sufficient to power to lights. IN other words, do not use a very small plug-in 12VDC power supply. Use one that is at least the size of a normal men's wallet. If you use too small of a power supply it could overheat the power supply. THese lights work fantastic. Theyve been on my vehicle for over a year now and continue to work flawlessly.

These are 12 volt not 120 volt! With that said you could use a 12 volt DC transformer or a 12 volt battery

12VDC power supply and outdoor/underground wire and waterproof wire connectors.

They need to be mounted in a standard electrical box. Same as an outlet or light switch.

You will need to buy a voltage converter. If you splice the wire and hook it up directly you WILL damage the lights.

The unit should have come with a spike that goes on the bottom of the light and you push it into the ground. These are not solar lights; you need to purchase wiring and a transformer. You can bury the wire.

There is only one way to hook these lights up. It doesn't matter what colors your wires are. It appears that the maker doesn't care either. Since these are diodes the power will only flow one way. In short try one wire on the positive and the other on the negative. If that doesn't work switch them around. I got one white wire and one black... the black was positive...go figure right.

They should be fine. I used them to mount rigid flood lights and there was no trouble.

Just drill a big enough hole for the wire to go through. Then simply put the wire through and silicone the hole on front and back side. Line them up and screw them in. Lights work great. Just make sure you have them mounted below the water line:)

You need a 12v transformer. Mine are direct wired transformers that I have up to four lights wired to.

Yes...this fixture requires a standard screw in bulb, nothing fancy. We use flood lights, but a regular house light bulb will work just as well. We had this fixture for probably two years and have had no problems at all. Hope this helps...

You would use the ones that are designed to be outdoors and the connections should be soldered instead of the plugs otherwise you are just asking for trouble. If you do not know how to do this hire an electrician that has worked with these.

Because there are LEDS you can actually get them to run on almost any current input, BUT... connecting it to house current is kind of like taking a bicycle and running it with the engine from a dump truck. And it will cost you hundreds of dollars to connect a 40 dollar light. It just makes no sense. If, as one person observed, perhaps you want to run it off the low voltage of a landscape system then yes, you can do that BUT, the way this particular unit is assembled the batteries are enclosed within the housing of the lamp, so you cannot just connect the wire that is hanging out. You'd have to open the sealed case, de-solder some connections and attach the power wires. It would be simpler and cheaper to just buy a flood light made for your landscape lighting system. They are inexpensive and they are plug and play. Hope that helps you out.

I went to Home Depot and purchased 90W LED out door bulbs. I'm sure they are here on amazon also. Works great. Don't need the flood lights, regular indoor/outdoor bulbs will do.

Yes. I have done exactly that by replacing the two flood light fixtures (on a standard motion sensor light kit) with two of these LEDs. It works perfectly. Just pay Attention to the wiring!! and do one side at a time. :)When motion sensors trigger they simply send 120v (in USA) to the existing flood light sockets so that the bulbs light up.These particular LEDs can handle anywhere from 80v all the way up to 240v if I recall correctly.So make sure you hook them up on the two wires going directly to the old socket connectors and you will be fine.

I use the LED flood lights. They are great! They've been in there for a few years.

Yes, you simply need to add it to the outdoor floodlight socket holder base plate that the unit does NOT come with, and then wire accordingly,

Debbie,They attach by clips to an electrical line connected to a transformer. I run 9 lights on about 50 ft loop alone my backyard pathway; they work fine. Be sure after you clip them to your electrical line that you wrap the clip connection with electrical tape to make sure that the connections stay dry. I have had mine two years with no problems. Good luck.

These are low voltage lights and will work inside or outside. Because they are low voltage, you would need to purchase a low voltage transformer to connect them to. You can purchase transformers that have photosensors or timers, or you can find a basic one that has an on and off switch.
