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> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF=http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product1338 TITLE="Aquascape Manual 12 Volt Transformers for Water Garden &amp;
