I assumed that a 12V halogen bulb would take DC voltage. Am I wrong?
The lamp stopped working, the bulb is OK (continuity fine, at least).


They intentionally run on DC.


Oops. I goofed. The halogen bulbs run on AC. Looks like it will
work with just a transformer with no diode required.

Sorry(tm).
