How many lights can the transformer power?
83023
I have 22 of these lights running fine off the included transformer and a light sensor.
83024
4 more of the same type. A total of 4 more with this transformer for total of 14.

I gave wrong info on the recessed light previously. I initially installed 10 and added 10 more for a total of 20 on the same transformer. I have had no problem

You can place the transformer anywhere along the wire that you'd like. We have 1 light on one side and 4 on the other side of the transformer.

You will need a low voltage lighting transformer (http://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-ML44T-Voltage-Lighting-Transformer/dp/B0002YTPLY/ref=pd_sim_hi_31?ie=UTF8&refRID=0K2K0MVT28WZ7426ZJ1K) and cable (http://www.amazon.com/Paradise-GL22131-Voltage-50-Foot-Landscape/dp/B00378K8WC/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_text_y) Links provided are only examples. If you plan to add more lights around your house, get a transformer large enough to handle them. Also, cable comes in different guages and should be selected to handle all the power the transformer is rated for.

The answer is do not overload the transformer. The transformer is rated at 60 watts and it is not difficult to determine the load of the LED lighting attached. If you are not familiar or comfortable with these calculations you should not install this product.

These are only one watt. So you power supply will be minimal. I would by the smallest transformer. I don't know what that would be. Perhaps a 50? With LEDs you can go small and save money! Note when you go to set your timer be advised that the red indicator is to turn on the light. A bit counter intuitive.

I believe that you can run 6 strips. I am running two transformers, one with four strips and one with three.

I used the same transformer that was powering my white 12V light. It works great!

I used the transformer that coming with the LIGHT and I don't know if you can use it other than that

If your taking about LED light strips, first you need to know what the Amp draw is for the lights. That can vary based on the number of lights / ft and the kind of lights. The last ones I used had 3/4" space between lights and were rated at .7 watts / ft. The next thing you need to know is the specs on the transformers. The transformers that I used supplied 2000 mA or 2 amps. One thing we learn in basic electricity is that 1 watt = 1 volt x 1 amp. So, that means each 16' strip of lights requires x 16 x .7 or 11.2 watts. Therefore, since V x A = W 12v x 2 amps = 24 watts. That means that the transformers that I selected will only supply 24 watts each. Conclusion based on my transformers they would only power 2 strips each. So Alicia, if the light strips are close to each other, I would look for a transformer that could produce higher amps. and only need 1 or 2 transformers.

Yes you should be able to. The strips interconnect with one another, so one transformer can run multiple strips. I've had several connected linked together--all being powered by only one power pack. I'm certain 8 would be no problem as even elaborate Christmas LED light strings can connect upwards of 13 or more. Hopefully that helps.

You need a 12v transformer. Mine are direct wired transformers that I have up to four lights wired to.

The transformer handles 100 watts. The halogens are 20 watts each so 5 is the limit. If you switch to LED bulbs you can triple the number of lamps. I don't know whether you can buy just the fixtures from the manufacturer. I bought two complete packages and then just put all the lamps on one 20 foot run using LED bulbs. The LEDS are brighter and run way cooler too.

this transformer puts out 12vac, 600 watts. If you LED lights require this voltage... you're all set.

The transformer is marked 100w and it comes with 5 20w lights. I'm sure there's some safety margin, but if you're looking for more light it might be better to get a different kit.

It has 5 leads based upon distance of light from transformer and the amount of voltage required

It depends on how many lights you have on the transformer already. The lights all together will only use 80 watts. 10 watts each. If you dont have any other lights on the transformer you have plenty of power! The light is bright but seeing that the lens is convex the light is diffused and doesnt resemble the light from the 20 watt halogen.

I did actually did the very same to some degree. I connected only two light strips & it works fine. Can't see why only one strip won't work.The draw [amps] is well under the transformer's limit. If you think about it , if one section goes out. the remaining should still power up. Hope this helps, Edwood
