Low-voltage wiring is lightweight and can be laid on the ground or buried just below the surface.&nbsp;&nbsp; Another advantage of low-voltage equipment is that it can be relatively inexpensive. And, when you do the job yourself, the bottom line for low-voltage looks even better. Not only can the capital outlay for a standard high-voltage system be much greater, but you may need to hire a pro for part or all of the installation. </p> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">You must size your low voltage transformer to match the combined wattage of the lights or lamps to which the transformer is to supply power plus approximately 25% more for the line.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><b aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Sizing your Transformer Example</b>:&nbsp; If you buy a system that comes with six fixtures and each fixture has a 12 watt lamp, then you have a minimum need of 72 watts&nbsp; (12 x 6 = 72).&nbsp;&nbsp; The line itself degrades the wattage as well so as a general rule of thumb you will need to increase it by 25% more.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Therefore you'll need at least a transformer that can handle about 90 watts.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So a 100 watt transformer would be the minimum needed.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you plan to add additional fixtures in the future, you may want to increase the&nbsp; wattage of the transformer or purchase additional transformers as needed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Keep in mind that the voltage drop over long distances is more pronounced in a low-voltage system, therefore, using wire that's too light (skinny) can affect the output at the lamps and this may adjust the wattage need of your low voltage transformer. </p> </p> <p> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"> <li>SKU: Manual Transformers</li> <li>Size of Transformer =: 6-Watt; 20-Watt; 60-Watt</li> </ul> </p> <p><b>Other products in the category <a href="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Category2" title="Water Garden &amp; Pond Products">Water Garden & Pond Products</a> / <a href="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Category46" title="Pond /Stream/Water Garden Lights &amp; Transformers">Pond /Stream/Water Garden Lights & Transformers</a> / <a href="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Category170" title="Transformers">Transformers</a>:</b> <br clear="left"><br /><ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product1456" title="Cal Pump Power Control Center for Underwater &amp; Landscape Lighting">Cal Pump Power Control Center for Underwater & Landscape Lighting</a> -- Ideal for use with underwater and landscape lighting with Digital Timer</li></ul> <br clear="left"><br /><ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product1454" title="Cal Pump Transformers for Underwater &amp; Landscape Lighting">Cal Pump Transformers for Underwater & Landscape Lighting</a> -- Ideal for use with underwater and landscape lighting with Digital Timer</li></ul> <br clear="left"><br /><ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product375" title="Low Voltage 12 Volt Transformers With Photo Cell For Outdoor Lighting Fixtures">Low Voltage 12 Volt Transformers With Photo Cell For Outdoor Lighting Fixtures</a> -- Several Sizes & Style Available: 60 Watt - 600 Watt</li></ul> <br clear="left"><br /><ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product1220" title="Malibu Low Voltage 12 Volt Transformers With Timers For Outdoor Lighting Fixtures">Malibu Low Voltage 12 Volt Transformers With Timers For Outdoor Lighting Fixtures</a> -- Powers all 12-volt VAC Lighting .
