How to use large transformers:
First of all there are three important facts to consider before loading any transformer.
- Total Load (add wattage from all fixtures)
- Distance (length of wire run)
- Wire Gauge (thickness of copper wire)
All three must be considered when designing a low-voltage system system.
Larger transformers need to be used in a manner that will allow all lighting fixtures on a specific run to evenly illuminate. In some cases there will need to be more than one line out from the transformer.
An example of a system using 2 output lines from the transformer would be as follows:
- (Line 1) 12 gauge wire with a 150 watt load extending a total of 43’ from the transformer
- (Line 2) 12 gauge wire with an additional 150 watt load extending 68 feet from the transformer, with the first fixture starting at 43’ from the transformer. The two different wire runs would attach to the same place on the transformer.
The 600 watt transformer has two 300 watt outputs. Use these 2 separate outputs to split the load instead of trying to run 600 watts on one run. If the loads are not split the system will not work. The 900 watt transformer has three 300 watt outputs.

TJB-INC INSTALLATION TIPS
- When running low voltage wire, try to keep the length of the wire run from the transformer to the lights less than 100' and put no more than 100 watts of draw per run. If your lights look dim and yellow or orange, this is a sign that they are not getting enough power. It could be you overloaded the wire run with too many light fixtures, the wire size could be too small, and/or the transformer is being over-worked because it is too small for the amount of lights it is powering. You could also try using bulbs with less wattage and see if that helps first. If not, then you will need to redesign your layout with larger guage wire and larger transformers. If you have multible runs of wire, choose a transformer that has multible power taps. Use the HI setting for the long runs, and the LO setting for the shorter runs. This should help with the power loss you were experiencing.
- At TJB-INC, anytime we are doing an installation with a moderate to long run of wire, we use the 12/2 gauge wire to be safe. If we are just going around a small to medium pond, we will use the 16/2 wire as long as the wattage draw from the bulbs does not go over 100 watts.
