How does this connect to a power transformer that I would plug direct into an AC outlet? Does it simply plug into the power unit?

It has Male and Female 5.5mm barrel power connectors. Depending on your power supply and your LEDs, it may simply plug in, or you may need to cut off the connectors and hardwire it.

It has a standard co-ax power connection for power "input" and another matching one for "output". It basically inserts in the power line you would use to power the LEDs if not using a dimmer. If you use a generic DC wall wart power supply, you may need to attach your own Co ax (Sometimes called barrel) connector. There are solder-less plugs and jacks available if soldering is not an option. The screw terminal type plugs are often sold for use with home security cameras etc.

This should install between the LED and power unit with correct positive and negative. So, first I connect the LED and power unit, if the LED is lighting, that's means positive and negative are connected correct; then, connect this between LED and Power unit.

No I don't think so, this is the worst product ever. Mine is in the drawer where it will stay because it's nothing but junk. It doesn't even Dim ,worthlessjust put it in the drawer or return it

Yes, I have used my electric drill with the transformer plugged in. At my house, this outlet is a dedicated line with GFI protection. I always feel better about using an outdoor outlet with GFI. And yes, the power supply comes with a short length of cord and includes a three prong plug. I mention the length because it may dictate the location of your transformer. #95433, an excellent value.

You have to have a transformer to convert the power to 12v whether you use the plug or wire it directly. If you are talking about wiring it directly to a battery of some kind, you have to watch the voltage.

I have mine plugged into the base, as the pins in my unit are broken, so I'm not sure if you can plug it directly into the unit. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It plugs directly into an existing wall outlet. (Do not use the provided template for mounting.)

No, it works plugged into a DC transformer that works plugged into regular wall power outlet.

I had the same issue with the unit i installed. I looked closer at the specs and realized it is a dc 12 volt unit. If you are using an ac transformer, it will not function correct.

Mine is connected directly to a 110 outlet. There is no visible transformer. Works great.

I use a 12 v. DC power transformer. This works fine but you will need to solder the connections.

Yes, the power cord plugs into a standard 115v AC outlet. Also, be aware that there is no 12v circuit protection of any kind on this unit (it doesn't mention that either). The DC terminals are VERY close together, so be careful.

It comes with an ac power cord. However, it is not a portable device so this cord is for direct power supply only.

Plugs directly into a normal 110V 15A outlet. One thing that is tricky is that the power transformer IS the plug rather than a power brick with a cord and plug at the end of it. This can make it difficult to get the entire power brick into a standard outdoor outlet even with a large in-use cover. If you plug it into an extension cord and plug the ext. cord into the outlet, then you have the power adapter/extension cord connection sitting out in the open exposed to the elements. Would have been better if they had added a short lead to the power adapter like the Blisslights and made the transformer a watertight box inline with the power cord instead of the actual plug itself.

Sort of ... Mine came with a cable that has a USB connector on one end, and a round connector typically found at the end of A/C adapters on the other end (and which connects to the unit). Without additional adapters, it will NOT plug directly into a standard wall outlet.

Hi, this plugs into a 12V transformer that IS included but NOT pictured! Then the transformer can be plugged into any standard 110V outlet. Thanks!

I have this unit connected to an outdoor power strip. The transformer for the low power landscaping light is plugged into the power strip. It all works great!

That's correct. Powerline adapters generally need to be plugged directly into the wall to work well, and not into a surge protector or power strip. With that said, when plugged properly into the wall outlet - this unit performs amazingly well!

It plugs straight into the wall. It has foldout prongs to stick into outlet. No need for power cable.
