Hey all - helping a friend with a project and ran into what I think is just a general electrical question. I did some googling, and came up with a variety of answers, so I wanted to ask folks here just in case. I'm guessing this is likely just me overthinking things, but better safe than sorry. I'd just try it out, but don't want to damage anything.
The existing cabinet has a row of 14V AC (yes AC) fed bulbs. The wiring was literally a direct wire feed off an old transformer from what I understand. No electronics or board in between. Is it possible to simply feed them off the 12V DC, PC power supply? I recall reading that a bulb, directly fed, doesn't really care about AC vs. DC much. My google searches resulted in mixed opinions. Thoughts?
