How can you convert 12 volt lights to work on 120 volt without a transformer?

Since you used the term lights (plural), one of the ways to do that is to wire them in series. So, ten 12 volt lights will equal 120 volts.
You can use a sufficient dropping resistor, but be prepared to trade off a LOT of heat and having to purchase a large wattage resistor.
There are diode/capacitor arrangements, but they're limited to low power applications and may not supply enough power to run your device.
There's the option of a particular IC (sorry, I can't remember the part number) wich will work off of 120 VAC and provide a 12 volt DC output, but then again, the current is limited.
Best bet? Do some research on the internet. The info's out there but you have to spend some time looking for it.

How do you convert a 110 volt chandelier to 220 volt?
you don't. you just take and use 120 volts from the 220. At least that's what I'd do.

How do you charge a 24 volt battery?
You will need a charger with 24 volt capability.
Where can you find 12 volt batteries?
www.batteryinternational.com should have a 12 volt battery that will work for you. Hope that helps

How do you convert 12 volt trailer lights to 24 volts?
Change the trailer light bulbs to 24 volts and supply a 24 volt source to power them, in that order.
How do you convert 12 volt to 24 volt?
Use a voltage devider or a transformer.
How do you convert 110 volt outlet to 115 or is there an adapter?
No adapter is needed, 110 and 115 volt are interchangeable.
How do you convert 24 volt trailer lights to 12 volt?
All you have to do is change the bulbs to 12 volts and supply the trailer with a 12 volt power source. If you leave the original 24 volt bulb in the trailer they will only glow at 1/2 of their rated wattage.
How do you convert 115 volt into 230 volt?
The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.
I have ten 12 volt 10 watt lights what transformer do you need?
To power ten 12 volt 10 watt lights, you would need a transformer with a total output of at least 120 volts and 100 watts.
Will 13.8 volt output transformer work for 13.5 volt transformer?
yes
What is the formula to convert 240 volt to 12 volts?
If it is AC then you don't need a formula, you just need a transformer.
What device is needed to convert 110 to 220 volt?
For higher current applications you would need a power transformer, for lower current applications you would need an adapter transformer.
How do you convert a 12-0-12 volt transformer to 16-0 volts transformer?
You can not convert the transformer without cutting the secondary windings. The secondary winding is a split secondary that is wound that way from the manufacturer. To accomplish what you asked would entail unwinding each side of the 12 volt winding half way. At this point solder a pigtail out to a terminal block. This would be your 6 volt tap. Then the coil would have to be rewound to its original state as before the unwind. This same procedure will then be done to the other side of the secondary. Done as a project, maybe, workable within ones capabilities, no.
Does a transformer convert the current from 240 volts to 120 volt?
Transformers are rated in KVA or VA (volt-amps). They transform voltages from one value to another. The current in a transformer is inverse to the voltage. This is why transformers are rated in KVA and smaller ones in VA.
