HID Fixtures should stay HID, but I think LED is fine too.

Quote from: Econolite03 on September 10, 2022, 05:44:59 PM I put a 12V candelabra base bulb from a battery operated candle into a 120V night light then plugged it in. Went pop!   I had a similar experience with plugging low voltage E12 LED candle lamps into 120v mains and they all burned out. In addition, I also recalled dropping a CFL light bulb in my grandparents’ basement and breaking it after getting a shock while trying to replace the lamp.
