Question:
Has anyone ever used a line voltage exterior post lamp and wired/lamped it for low voltage--i have done many pillar lights like this using a 50watt A19 12 volt bulb--same principle right?

I haven't done this personally, but in theory you sound correct.

yes that's right. you could also buy conversion kits.

Our company has done this many times and yes you have the right idea. One you can run a low voltage cable to the desired location and connect it that way or you can use a mini transformer at the line voltage connection point. These mini transformer are normally rated for 75w so a 50w A19 would be fine.
