It had to be done. I put the 12V version of this lamp into the 240V lamp holder to see what happened. Note the long pause as I expectantly wait for something to go bang. (It didn't!)

That was such an anticlimax
Hey Clive, can I use a 240v 400w bulb to load test a 12v 350w power supply? Cheers
I made that mistake before. blown up a bunch of incandescent lamps the E27 type
i seen a slight flash
I thought it would explode
Clive where did you buy the 12V one?
Gotta love it when YouTube fails to provide subcription emails.
I didn't read the description! No spoilers for me! just silent disappointment :D!
oh but 12 volt DC on a 120 volt AC? well it lights but it flickers all day long in series… ie oh bother they shoulda had that in red. DC only X_X where's my batteries. (I've been told DC is more deadly than AC. Whats the harm in sticking my finger in a light socket anyway :P) vs a DC run (by 12 D batteries) cigarette lighter pack that has no cover over it X_X You know I really don't wanna find that out so I keep removing one of the batteries out of the thing and my brother keeps putting it back. smh… sigh and it's a flat panel led set, not like the above.

Different story for a tungsten filament lamp. My mother inserted a 12V tungsten bulb, which was intended for a fish tank light, into a 240v fitting. Result = exploding bulb. When I asked her why she put a 12V bulb in to a 240V fitting, she replied ' I thought it would only take 12 of the available volts…
I was expecting far more violence too……….
Send it to photonicinduction :p
