is this the kind of transformer that needs to be hardwired to my lights ..because this is the kind that i need for my lights????

Yes it must be hardwired, but only two wires must be connected. If I did it anyone can. Good luck

If by hard wire you mean screw terminals, yes. Low voltage output does not require conduit but good wiring practices are highly recommended.

Of course it has to be hardwired to your lights. Now if Tesla would have perfected his wireless power transmission, you wouldn't.

I use it to light my pathway lights around the house. It has a timer to turn the lights on and off automatically.

Yes, I'm a Electrican. Just be sure you us good wire nuts when spliceing. Just cut the plug off the transformer and wire the correct colors

It is a light with a short wire to connect with. You need to have low voltage wiring & transformer already- or need to purchase. Lots of options for those at Amazon or HD/Lowes.

It depends on what bulb you use and how many lights you want to use. The current rating of the transformer should be equal to the number of lights times the current rating of the bulbs. I use LEDs in my lamps so the current requirements are low.

I did not use any transformer for this fixture. You can buy a regular dimmer.

the company sells the transformer separately. You can also buy it from Ledwholesalers for 15.75 with prime shipping here on amazon. Then the light and transformer have to be wired together. I get my electrician to do it , but if you know how to connect two wires together you can do it yourself. I love these lights. But I do not submerse them under water, so I have had no problems. I can't say if they work good under water.

Any 12 volt transformer will work. I use a Malibu unit that powers All of my 12 volt lights. I currently have about 25 lights around myHome

Sounds like you're trying to use them in a motor home. The input/output specs aren't listed on the fixture so the transformer requirements you'd need are unknown. I've never seen an output this bright coming from a 12 volt source. Good luck.

it does say direct to transformer, but I cut off the spade connector and wired it to an existing wire attached to multiple lights

You need a transformer & wire from transformer to light. Also 110v power source for transfomer.

I really do not know what kind of transformer that the light needs. It is electronic. My husband put it up for me with no problem and I do love it.

Yes it needs to be conected to a 12 volt transformer. YouTube has some good explanations of the low voltage lanscape light systems.

I'm sorry. But are you sure you want to put strobe lights in your landscape. I really don't know if these would be wired into a 12 transformer for your landscape. I would write the company to find out.

MR-16s are a 12 volt bulb so this transformer is required. Your contractor could have kept your halogens but opted to give you more efficient LED bulbs. This is an upgrade, and a good one if you use the lights a lot. LEDs like constant current typically around 350mA from an LED driver, but I'm not sure if the MR-16s have something to compensate for it as this would be the typical installation.

Good morning, I would suggest buying a transformer that is rated 100 a watts more than your light fixtures. Also, if you are going to add any additional lights, now woul be a good time to figure that in do you don't have to buy an additional transformer down the road. Hope this helps.

I am assuming you are running this into an Intermatic transformer, right? It works well for me but I Amazon won't let me upload a diagram. If you are following the same diagram I received with the switch and it isn't working I would double check everything and then contact Pentair. Check and see if your transformer powers your low voltage lights without the switch. If so you might have a bad switch. Just to be sure, you do have compatible LED lights, right? The switch does not generate the colors it just makes things easier to select patterns.
