I received an AC/DC version
5 Stars
I received an AC/DC version
The version I received is marked as being intended for use with 12 Volts, either AC and DC.The relay inside will pass the AC or DC input right through the relay to the output lead. It uses a 555 timer as part of the circuit, and an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) to measure ambient light level. You could bypass the discrete-diode square bridge rectifier that is between the input and the control circuit, to save a TINY amount of wasted energy, if you'll only be running on DC input.Build quality looks OK, and they should serve our needs to run some small LED 12VDC flood lights that will serve duty as security lights here in our tiny town in Northern Nevada, USA.I'll follow up here if they don't prove to be reliable.
