Hello everyone,
Hope, someone can advise me regarding the following problem.
Some time ago I changed 24 V DC G4 halogen bulbs to 10-30 VDC/ 11-18 VAC G4 LED bulbs. The input voltage is nominally 24VDC, but in fact approx 27-28 V, because the service batteries are being constantly charged.
After some time (about 1 month, the bulbs were ON only at night) the bulbs started to fail, now most of them are gone. The electronic part on the back of the bulb was partly black and smelled burnt.
Does it mean that 10-30V DC bulbs are not really designed to work all the time with 24VDC input and I have to install something to decrease the voltage to 12VDC? Or shall I try first bulbs of another maker?
I havenn't seen anywhere specifically 24VDC bulbs. All of them are either 12VDC or 10-30VDC.
Thanks and regards.
