240v Pendant into 12v cabling

[lewisericeric]

Hi guys

 

I've got a 240/standard house pendant that I want to wire into where there's a spot light in my ceiling.... 

 

I've got a bulb from bedazzled so it can run on 12v, but I'm just wondering on the pendant I have live/neutral/earth wires, where do these correspond to on the black and red cables on the 12v circuit? How should this be wired up?

 

I should know this by now but can never remember!

Red is live and black is neutral on 12v. Not that it matters for a light bulb!

 

Oh and forget about the earth on the pendant....no need to connect it on a 12v system.

Thanks! Yes, remembered re the earth, but that's useful so thanks a lot!

If the "bulb" is an LED, 12v polarity may matter. But it may have a bridge rectifier inside in which case it won't.

If it is a BC type lamp then, since it can be inserted two ways,  (oo er matron) it ought to be polarity agnostic.

 

An ES lamp  need not be polarity agnostic.

Bedazzled stuff is usually pretty bulletproof.
