Can these be wired into a landscape transformer? I believe that the mr16 lights in my yard are 12 volt but I am not sure.

Yes they are 12 v supplied to s transformer that boosts voltage to 50,000 volts, ad long as you hsve a dry locstion for thr transformer and a housing for the xenon bulb , it should work fine,

Hello,Most certainly not, although I din't check the signal with a scope.I have took apart my own CIPA model : the transformer and wires are filles with hard resin. Not way to attain the electronic contacts.The electronics are made to generate a specific signal and your landscape lamps will 1-flash 2-might burn, or damage the transformer.My best advice : 1-scavenge a 12 V transformer (plenty old ones in company's drawers, probably in your home too) 2- sell the CIPA as is, it is valuable.Regards.LB

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.

Yeah, these are 12v but they are strobe lights, don't know why you want want them for landscaping lights...

Everyone seems to forget the difference between AC and DC. These are for an automotive 12Vdc power supply. Landscape lights are 12ac obtained from a transformer.

As long as its 12 volts. If its more than 1 amp get an inline fuse so you dont destroy them. Hope this helps.

These are 12 volt not 120 volt! With that said you could use a 12 volt DC transformer or a 12 volt battery

Donald and Richard are correct. You need a 12 volt transformer used for low voltage landscape lighting. Wattage should be at least 20 watts (not "low wattage") plus total wattage of any other lights you want to power with the transformer. Amazon or Lowes has them.

No. Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. You need 12V DC for the LED. I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide. You can get it from Amazon. 72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DC A demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzarYlOnPc﻿

You need a 110 volt to 12 v. DC transformer, sold separately. You "plug" the lights into the transformer (be sure to get one with the matching DC plug on one end) and plug the other 110-120 v. plug into an outlet, and they should "play." Recommend you get a higher wattage transformer than the rating for the lights. One of mine burned out less than a month after installation. Replacement has double the wattage and works fine.

The ones we bought are 12v. They plug into a socket/fixture that is wired to 120v but I believe the fixture has a step-down transformer. They have worked well for us.

No a power transformer will be needed. Search for 12V minimum of 2 AMPS to power these lights. Since most transformers come with a barrel connector and the LED lights come with a barrel receiver they plug together well. I have purchases these type of lights for 3 projects and very happy with the output.

That's what I used them for. Typical landscaping light is: 11-Watt Incandescent T5 12-Volt Wedge Light Bulb,

I don't think so. The transformer needs full power from your wall socket. You would insert a 12 volt dimmer between this device and your string of lights.

Can have it's own or can be added to a series of lights running from a transformer. Make sure the total voltage for all your lights, including this one, matches the total voltage output from your transformer. It comes with a fairly long wire (from what I recall installing over a year ago). I attached those wires to existing landscape lights using outdoor wire-nuts (water resistant) I got from Home depot.

Understand you need a Transformer for the lights,unless you operating off 12 Volts DC. If you have a Power supplywith an input of 240 Volts and output of 12volts DC they will work.These lights require Low voltage D.C. to operate

I must reconsider my answer after looking at this a little closer. The lights do require 12vDC and not AC. There is such an adapter sold elsewhere on Amazon that can power this string. I would have to say that you probably cannot use this transformer.

Yes they can. I have 4 of them back lighting a waterfall and they have been working great for the past 3 months with no issues. I have them connected to my 12v landscape transformer.

I believe you would be fine with a 12V DC source. I have connected them to Malibu ligting transformers providing 12V outside of my home without any issue. I have also connected them to 110V A/C through the dimmable drivers sold.

They don't - you need to buy landscape wire and a transformer. I got my landscape wire from Amazon (100 feet for $39 I think) and the transformer from lowes. Figure out how many lights you have and multiply by 10 to figure out what size transformer to buy. Better to overestimate to make sure your transformer can handle your lights and have room to expand.

Yes you need a transformer for this light. Plug the transformer into your yard outlet and power this light from the transformer. Otherwise you will destroy this light.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but I have these lights wired to my household (120 volts?). My standard household wiring uses 14/2 wiring (14 guage with 2 conductors and 1 ground). I spliced my lamp with an outdoor extension cord that I repurposed from Xmas decorations. I then plug this into an outdoor electrical outlet. I have suffered no problems whatsoever.
