will this tester work on 12 volt low voltage yard lights?

Yes james its a (dual range tester) which means it will pickup voltages as small as 12 volts all the way up to 1000 volts. Hope this helps

Yes, I just tried it and it works but since those batteries are 3 volts it is hard to know if it is reading it right. It "pegged" out a new battery and I suspect that it will tell you if a 3V is very weak or dead, but not "low" since a "low 3v" would probably still produce more than 1.5v. By the way, this tester has already saved me it's cost in batteries I would have otherwise thrown away.

Yes. I use this device to find a break in my electric dog fence which uses low voltage.

It should work best thing to check is make sure the roll you have has resistors on it. Check the current controller and make sure it's 12 volt out put. If so you should be fine.

I am currently using it for a set of 3 25W halogen bulbs. I'm not sure where the low voltage part comes into play, unless it's referring to the switch. Low voltage is usually 24V or less, and this plugs into a standard 120V outlet and looks just like a basic 2 prong indoor extension cord. So the short answer is: yes, it should work for your application.

I'm not an electrician, but I did ask if this can be used for LED strips, if this is a regular transformer for low voltage lighting you should be fine. The 12 gauge wire will go a further distance that 14 or 16 gauge.

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

Yes it works for testing GFCI outlets (simulates a 'trip') and also checks any other type of outlet for proper wiring (hot/neutral/ground in the proper wiring spot)

Hi Denton...should work, my install is behind a double switch plate with one traditional switch and this timer. This works well with LED lights, it has a battery to assist the switching action because of the small amount out electricity for operation. Others will not work on low voltage lights.Joe

there should be markings on the tree showing the voltage. If it's 12 volt it will probably work.

I don't believe so. It is similar to any other low voltage light where you connect it to a transformer.I have mine connected to the same low voltage transformer/controller that is used for all of the outdoor lighting.

Yes, I used it for my outdoor Malibu lighting which is 12 volts. They actually are lasting longer than the Home Depot brand. Can't go wrong.

It will work on any 12v dc circuit. NOT 120ac That you would find in a house.

Yes, though I would not recommend it. This tester is very cheap and will just stop working after a couple of uses

Assuming your lights are 12 VDC and maximum number of fixtures(lights) do not exceed transformer wattage rating, should work fine.

According to the manual it is a 12v only tester.http://www.cloreautomotive.com/uploaded_files/sku/447_841-029-000.pdf

The bulb works with 12 V DC only not with any AC voltage. You mention that your outdoor low voltage landscape lighting is AC if that is right the bulb will not work. I believe that you are wrong, all landscape lighting are DC,then the bulb will work. Recheck your outdoor system and if is DC (not AC) you are good to go !
