Yes- ac or dc makes no difference to a regular light bulb. However, it must be the correct voltage. DC bulbs used on a car are 12 volt, and household AC current is 120-240 volts.

What else can I help you with?

Does electrical transformer use a DC or AC source?

A transformer is a device to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC & vice-versa. It works on the principle of induction. Since induction occurs only in an AC supply, a transformer cannot work on DC.. So, it is not possible to convert DC supply to AC using transformer. You would need an inverter to convert DC to AC.
