What kind of wiring is recommended for new installations, is a transformer required?

I had potlights already installed. These were just replacement bulbs. It was normal household 110 wiring and I did not use any transformer that I know of unless that is part of the potlight housing itself. I did not do any special prep. I agree with David D.

I bought the bulb for a friend. He said the bulb does need a transformer so it can work.

you need to have access to 120v outlet; unit comes with transformer which plugs into 120v outlet and connects by small wire to the unit.

power cord has 2 prongs and transformer is already installed on the line about halfway between light and prongs

clip off the dc jack and strip the two wire and connect to transformer wires, which usually you have to connect the red to red, black to black vs on other types of low voltage it doesn't matter. Just be careful of the run length. That (nor in my experience with the supplier) I can't answer, but if its not a long run, shouldn't be a problem. Steve, electrical contractor, Atlanta, GA, just saw another answer from Robert, what he said!

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

Any low voltage transformer will work.. I bit of warning. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain (like Central Kentucky) be prepared to replace a lot of bulbs. The fixture looks good, but isn't waterproof.

I recommend a Reliance 10-circuit transfer unit. And best to have a electrician wire to CB panel, etc..... went easy at my panel.

Tell him you need a NEMA 6-50A outlet installed on a new 40-amp 240 volt circuit. Or just a new 40-amp 240 volt circuit if you want to hardwire the station.

This transformer is for grounded systems. If yours only has two wires, you don't have a grounded system. You can still use it, just ignore the middle terminal.

I bought this one two years ago, and have no idea, what kind of transformer it has, because whatever comes with it we just installed it and that was it, I am really sorry that I am unable to help you any more, thanks ;you

I don't know about any transformer, all I know is I installed it right out of the box and it worked.

This transformer does come with wires. My old unit already has wires and I just replaced my old dead transformer. You should be able to find out what kind of wires you need from Homedeport.

You will probably need both - We had a plumber install it, but he didn't do a very good job of housing the wiring. We had to run a new electrical wire with the correct amperage from the fuse box, and later had an electrician do a better job with the connection to the Rheem. That said, we still have a gaping hole in the wall, so you may need a drywaller too!

The rule of thumb here is...if your gonna change plugs,..do the wires also.Especially if they haven't been changed in awhile...:-)

The ones I got all came with current transformers. If there is no wiring diagram then wire the CT to the two wires extending from the back. Hook 120v or 240v too the screw terminals supplied.

I switched from the lamps to the LED units and used the old transformer from the initial installation. Obvious much larger than necessary since these LED's are rated at 2 watts. A smaller transformer of 40 watts will work fine with plenty of reserve to add more fixtures.

You don't need a transformer! You can just plug it in as it is and works great!
