Can you put 12V 50W light to 12v ac 2A adaptor?

No, you should not connect a 12V 50W light directly to a 12V AC 2A adaptor. The light requires a higher wattage than the adaptor can provide, which can damage both the light and the adaptor. You should use an adaptor that can supply the correct voltage and wattage for the light.


Can a 12V ac bulb be used with 12V dc adapter or 12v DC supply?

Answer 1: No. Answer 2: This depends. The chances are that an AC adaptor can be substituted by a DC adaptor. It depends on what item it is powering. Not many items run directly on AC power. Most items that is shipped with an AC adaptor has got its own internal rectifier in order to make DC from AC. If you know enough about electricity and electronics to open up and check the item you need to power up, then check if it contain an internal rectifier. If it does, then it should be no problem. Some times however, the diodes used for rectifying the voltage are tightly dimensioned. 4 diodes is needed to rectify the power. 4 diodes of 500ma give you a usable current of about 1 Ampere if run with an AC power-source. If using a DC power-source however, the usable current is halved because only 2 of the 4 diodes will be used. Some items that use an AC adaptor is some clock-radios or answer-machines with time-telling. For these items it is likely that they will run fine on an DC adaptor except for the clock. In Europe, the AC is 50 Hz. In US, this frequency's is 60 Hz. This frequency is highly accurate and can be used to measure time for a clock. If using DC, then the clock will not function, but the rest should. Another issue is voltage... 12 v AC... when rectified and not stabilized, it will make about 16.8 volt. When powering some item, the voltage will drop, but always stay above 12 volt. Probably more like 14 volt. This depending on current drawn. If using a 12 v DC power-source, this will after diodes only give about 11.3 volt. It may still be enough for most appliances though. If not sure about what I am writing about, then you should find a perfect match AC adaptor to your "thing" and not even test a DC adaptor on it. IF the question was reverted. "Can I substitute a DC adaptor with an AC adaptor" then in 99.9% of cases this is a big NO. If putting AC where you should put DC, this will most likely lead to destruction of your item. You will "shortcut" capacitors and transistors. It may also cause fire.


What does 100ma mean on an ac dc adaptor?

100 ma is equal to .1 amp. It is the capacity or the maximum amount of current that can be drawn from the adapter that is established by the manufacturer of the adapter. If more that the nameplate rating is drawn from the adapter it will start to heat up and if this overload is left on for a extended period of time the adapter will be destroyed because of the heat build up. The insulation on the windings breaks down under heat and eventually will short out making the adapter useless.


What is toshiba power ac adapter lifetime?

Toshiba power AC adapter lifetimes can vary depending on usage, manufacturing quality, and handling. On average, an AC adapter can last 1-3 years before needing replacement or repairs. Regular maintenance and proper usage can help prolong its lifespan.


How do you find ac adaptor for stratolounger recliner?

You can search for a compatible AC adapter for your Stratolounger recliner by checking the manufacturer's website or contacting their customer service for recommendations. Alternatively, you can look for universal AC adapters that meet the voltage and amperage requirements of your recliner. It's important to make sure the adapter has the correct voltage, amperage, and connector size to avoid damage to your recliner.

Can an ac adapter's output be AC?

Yes an AC adaptors output can be AC. In order to change the output to AC a few components inside of the adaptor has to be removed. Pretty much all that has to be removed from the adaptor are the diodes. The gaps in the circuit then have to be bridged in order for the electricity to continue to flow to the output plug. However this can cause problems with the circuit causing the capacitors to explode. I dont recommend modifying an adaptor to output AC. Just go out and buy another one.
