Any electricians out there?
I built a tiki hut and would like to put some flickering lights in a couple of old lanterns inside of the hut. I have low voltage wiring around the hut now for other garden lights, can I take my fake electric flickering candle out of my house cut the plug off the end of the cord and connect it to the low voltage wire to get the candles to work/flicker in the lantern in the hut? The fake candle is 110 the wire is a lot smaller/thinner than the low voltage wire. I do have a transformer and do not have very many lights on it now. Hope this was not hard to understand. I would like to have flickering lights out in the hut but don't have the solar knowledge on how to set it up and don't want to do the battery thing. thank you very much
ZZ, I am a journeyman electrician, I have been for almost 40 years.
The 110 volt bulb will not light on the low voltage, sorry.
But........... You can put a 12 volt battery in the hut, and a 12 volt to 110 volt converter, and use it that way. A small output converter would run a number of the bulbs, a 400 watt, or even smaller.
You can use solar to recharge the battery.
