| How to select a transformer |
When choosing a transformer for your landscape lights be sure to get one that has
a larger amount of copper wire in the transformer. This is generally determined by
the weight of the transformer. Usually the transformers that you can buy at a retail
store or in a set of lights are a lesser quality. |
| Here are some brand names that are what the professional landscapers use: |
Fx luminaire
Vista
Unique
Focus |
| How To Select The Wattage |
| The transformers usually come in the following sizes: |
2oo watts
300 Watts
360 Watts (Unique)
600 Watts
840 Watts (Unique)
900 Watts
1120 Watts (Unique) |
| Note: Vista and Unique offer a high tap (22 Volt) for the realy far runs |
You only want to use about 80% of the transformers capacity, this will allow for any
future lights. |
